أَموْلانا ضِياءَ الدِّينِ دُمْ لي

وَعِشْ طولَ الزَّمانِ بلا انتِهاءِ

O our master, Diya al-Din, remain for me,

And live through all of time, without end.

فَلَولا أَنتَ ما أَغْنَيْتُ شَيئاً

وَمَا يُغْني السِّراجُ بِلا ضِياءِ

For were it not for you, I would be of no use at all,

And what use is a lamp without light?
