سَلامٌ هوَ الشَّمسُ ضَوءاً وحُسناً

سَلامٌ هوَ الشَّمسُ ضَوءاً وحُسناً

وَكَالبَدرِ نوراً وَكالأفقِ نَجما

وَكَالبَدرِ نوراً وَكالأفقِ نَجما

Salām is the sun in radiance and beauty,

like the full moon in its light, and like the horizon in its starlight,

وَكالبَرقِ لَمعاً وَكَالمِسكِ نَفحاً

وَكالبَرقِ لَمعاً وَكَالمِسكِ نَفحاً

وَكَالرّوضِ زهراً وَكَالعِقدِ نَظما

وَكَالرّوضِ زهراً وَكَالعِقدِ نَظما

like lightning in its flash, and like musk in its fragrant breath,

like a garden in bloom, and like a necklace in its arrangement.
