سَبَّحَ اللَهُ طالِعٌ مُستَنيرٌ

وَهِلالٌ مِثلُ القُلامَةِ ناحِل

Allah be praised, a bright dawn rises

And a crescent like an elegant bow

وَبَدَت مِن بَناتِ نَعشٍ غَوانٍ

لَم يُصِبها مِن إِثمِدِ اللَيلِ كاحِل

Appears among the daughters of the bier of darkness

Unblemished by the murk of night

كَالسَوامِ الأَنامُ هَل فازَ مَن سا

فَرَ مِنهُم إِلى بَطيءِ المَراحِل

People bustle - has the one who hastened

Fled them to the slow stages?

يَمَنِيٌّ وَفارِسِيٌّ وَشامِيٌّ

وَغادٍ مِن أَهلِ غَربَةَ راحِل

A Yemeni, a Persian, a Syrian

And a wanderer from the West traveling

ساحِلِيّونَ لَم أُرِد ساحِلَ البَح

رِ وَلَكِن نَسباً لِأَقمَرَ ساحِل

I did not mean the shore of the sea

But rather one with radiant shores

خَفَّ مَلكٌ عَلى السَريرِ فَهَل يو

جَدُ في العالَمينَ قَرمٌ حُلاحِل

A king reclines on his throne - will he find

In both worlds, a fortress like himself?
