خَرَّ للهِ ساجداً ليلة الوضع
خُضوعاً ثم استوى وأشمَّا
He fell before God, prostrate, on the night of his birth,
in humble submission; then rose upright and towered high.
وتدانت منه النجومُ جهاراً
وتداعَى إِيوان كسرى فغمَّا
The stars drew near to him in plain sight,
and Khosrow’s Iwan came crashing down and lay abased.
وتراءت قصور بُصْرى من أرض ال
شام من ضوء نوره مذ ألمّا
The palaces of Busra, in the land of al-
Sham, came into view by the light of his radiance when he arrived.
