أَرى الأَرضَ تُثني بِالنَباتِ عَلى الحَيا

وَلَو تَستَطيعُ النُطقَ خَصَّتكَ بِالحَمدِ

I see the earth adorned with vegetation

If it could speak, it would praise you

فَلو لَم تُعَلِّم كَفُّكَ السُحُبَ النَدى

لَما أَنجَدَت مِن قَحطِ أَعوامِها الجُردِ

If your palm had not taught the clouds to rain

It would not have been saved from the barren years

بِكَ اِفتَرَّتِ الأَيّامُ عَن ناجِذِ الغِنى

وَغَرَّدَ طَيرُ العَيشِ في الزَمَنِ الرَغدِ

Through you, days excel in bounty

And the birds of livelihood chirp in prosperous times

وَفي كُلِّ يَومٍ أَنتَ مُظهِرُ آيَةٍ

تَجيءُ بِإِعجازٍ يَفوتُ مَدى الحَدِّ

And every day you manifest a sign

That comes with a miracle beyond limit

عَهِدنا مُدودَ الأَرضِ تَأتي بِحارَها

وَلَم نَرَ بَحراً قَطُّ سارَ إِلى مَدِّ

We are used to the earth bringing its seas

But we never saw a sea that flowed to shore
