إِن غاضَ بَحرٌ مُدَّةً

فَلَطالَما غَدَرَ الغَديرُ

If the sea recedes for a while

The tide has often betrayed the estuary

فَلَكٌ يَدورُ بِحِكمَةٍ

وَلَهُ بِلا رَيبٍ مُديرُ

There is a planet that revolves wisely

And it certainly has a guide

إِن مَنَّ مالِكُنا بِما

نَهوى فَمالِكُنا قَديرُ

If our Master has bestowed us with what

We desire, then our Master is Able

أَو لا فَعالَمُ آدَمٍ

بِإِهانَةِ المَولى جَديرُ

Or else the world of humans

Deserves the humiliation of the Master
