تَجِفُّ الأَرضُ مِن هَذا الرَبابِ

وَيَخلُقُ ما كَساها مِن ثِيابِ

The earth becomes dry of this downpour

The earth dries up from the moisture of these clouds,

And He creates what He clothed it in of garb

And the garments that once clothed it fade and wear,

وَما يَنفَكُّ مِنكَ الدَهرُ رَطباً

وَلا يَنفَكُّ غَيثُكَ في اِنسِكابِ

And the time does not stop being moist from you

Yet through you, Time remains forever fresh with life,

And your rain does not stop in pouring down

And the rain of your benevolence is in constant flow.

تُسايِرُكَ السَواري وَالغَوادي

مُسايَرَةَ الأَحِبّاءِ الطِرابِ

The valleys and meadows accompany you

The clouds of night and morning journey alongside you,

The accompaniment of lovers enraptured

Keeping pace like beloved companions stirred by joy;

تُفيدُ الجودَ مِنكَ فَتَحتَذيهِ

وَتَعجِزُ عَن خَلائِقِكَ العِذابِ

You grant generosity so it learns from you

They learn the art of giving from you and follow your lead,

And your perfect nature baffles tribulation

Yet they fail to attain the sweetness of your nature.
