تَتيهُ بِكَ الدُنيا وَتَزهو المَنابِرُ

وَتُشرِقُ نوراً حينَ تَبدو المَقاصِرُ

The world wanders in pride because of you, and the pulpits exult,

And the royal chambers radiate light whenever they come into view.

أَلا يا أَمينَ اللَهِ وَالمَلِكَ الَّذي

إِذا ما بَدا تَحبو إِلَيهِ الأَكابِرُ

O Trustee of God, and the King towards whom,

Whenever he appears, the great ones crawl in submission.

لَبِستَ رِداءَ الفَخرِ في صُلبِ آدَمٍ

فَما تَنتَهي إِلّا إِلَيكَ المَفاخِرُ

You donned the cloak of glory while yet in the loins of Adam,

For all glories find their ultimate end only in you.

وَلِلَّهِ بَدرٌ في السَماءِ مُنَوَّرٌ

وَأَنتَ لَنا بَدرٌ عَلى الأَرضِ زاهِرُ

To God belongs a full moon in the sky, illuminated,

And you are for us a full moon upon the earth, radiant.
