فاقَ حتى أذعنَ الحسنُ لهُ

وتَمادى فيهِ من أبصرهُ

Excellence prevailed till Beauty bowed to it

And he who beheld it was impelled to explore it

فلهذا فيه ما أعجبهُ

ولهذا فيهِ ما أكثرهُ

For this reason in it is what delights him

And hence in it is what mostly attracts him

فهو بالحسنِ يُباري بعضهُ

بعضَه سبحانَ من صورهُ

Part of it vies with another in beauty

Glory to Him who made it perfect in every part

فيهِ أنوارٌ بهاءٌ ضوؤُها

بثَّها فيهِ الذي قدرَهُ

In it are shining lights radiant in their glow

Dispensed in it by the One Who decreed that it should be so
