أَلا يا خَيرَ مَن رَأَتِ العُيونُ

نَظيرُكَ لا يُحِسُّ وَلا يَكونُ

Oh, best of all whom eyes have ever beheld,

Your equal is neither perceived nor does he exist.

وَفَضلُكَ لا يُحَدُّ وَلا يُجارى

وَلا تَحوي حِيازَتُهُ الظُنونُ

Your merit is boundless and cannot be rivaled,

Nor can human surmise encompass its extent.

فَأَنتَ نَسيجُ وَحدِكَ لا شَبيهٌ

نُحاشيهِ عَلَيكَ وَلا خَدينُ

For you are singular in your nature, with no likeness

That we could attribute to you, nor any peer.

خُلِقتَ بِلا مُشاكَلَةٍ لِشَيءٍ

فَأَنتَ الفَوقُ وَالثَقَلانِ دونُ

You were created bearing no resemblance to any thing;

You are the zenith, while Men and Jinn are far beneath.

كَأَنَّ المُلكَ لَم يَكُ قَبلُ شَيئاً

إِلى أَن قامَ بِالمُلكِ الأَمينُ

As though sovereignty was nothing at all before,

Until the Trustworthy One arose to uphold the realm.
