يا كَعبة نَسعى إَلَيك وَنَقصدُ

وَنَطُوف نَحوَ حِماك إِذ هُوَ مَسجدُ

O Kaaba, we strive towards you and intend,

And we circumambulate around your sanctuary, for it is a mosque,

يا مُفرَداً يَسمو بِكُل فَضيلة

يا أَوحَد الأَمراء بَل يا فرقد

O you who stand alone with every virtue,

O unique prince, nay, O precious gem,

بُشراك فَالنجل الأَمين محمدٌ

بَدر لطلعته الكَواكب تَسجُد

Good tidings to you, for the trustworthy boy Muhammad,

Is a full moon, before whose rising the stars bow down,

جادت بِهِ شَمس بِنُورك أَشرَقَت

وَسَحاب أَعداها جَلاه المَولد

The sun shone with his light and radiated through him,

And the clouds competed to give him shade the day he was born,

وَالدَهر سالمها وَأَقسم أَنَّهُ

يَسطو عَلى لاحٍ يَلوم وَيحسد

Time greeted him with peace and swore that,

He would rise above the brilliant stars that blame and envy,

وَالسَعد وافاها وَقال مُؤرّخا

بِالبشر وَالتَوفيق جادَ محمد

Good fortune met him and historians called out,

With glad tidings and divine aid, Muhammad is generous.
