غَمَرَ الأَرْضَ بِأَنْوَارِ النُّبُوَّةْ

كَوْكَبٌ لَمْ تُدْرِكِ الشَّمْسُ عُلُوَّهْ

He illuminated the earth with the lights of prophethood

A star whose height even the sun could not reach

لَمْ يَكُدْ يَلْمَعُ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَتْ

تَرْقُبُ الدُّنْيَا وَمَنْ فِيهَا دُنُوَّهْ

No sooner did he shine than the world

Began to look forward to his coming closer

بَيْنَمَا الكَوْنُ ظَلاَمٌ دَامِسٌ

فُتِحَتْ فِي مَكَّةَ لِلنُّورِ كُوَّةْ

While the universe was immersed in deep darkness

A window for light was opened in Mecca

وَطَمَى الإِسْلاَمُ بَحْرَاً زَاخِرَاً

بِأَوَاذِيِّ الْمَعَالِي وَالفُتُوَّةْ

And Islam inundated a raging sea

With the glories of lofty ideals and chivalry

مَنْ رَأَى الأَعْرَابَ فِي وَثْبَتِهِمْ

عَرَفَ البَحْرَ وَلَمْ يَجْهَلْ طُمُوَّهْ

Whoever saw the Arabs in their vigor

Knew the sea and did not ignore its depths

إنَّ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ لِلْعُرْبِ عُلاً

إنَّ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ لِلنَّاسِ أُخُوَّةْ

Indeed in Islam there is glory for the Arabs

Indeed in Islam there is brotherhood for all people

فَادْرُسِ الإِسْلاَمَ يَا جَاهِلَهُ

تَلْقَ بَطْشَ اللهِ فِيهِ وَحُنُوَّهْ

So study Islam, O ignorant one

You will find in it God's wrath and tenderness

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ

زَجَّهَا التَّضْلِيلُ فِي أَعْمَقِ هُوَّةْ

O Messenger of God, we are a nation

Misguidance threw it into the deepest abyss

ذَلِكَ الجَهْلُ الذِي حَارَبْتَهُ

لَمْ يَزَلْ يُظْهِرُ لِلشَّرْقِ عُتُوَّهْ

That was the ignorance which you fought against

It did not cease to show hostility to the East

قُلْ لأَتْبَاعِكَ صَلُّوا وَادْرُسُوا

إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ هُدَىً وِالْعِلْمُ قُوَّةْ

Say to your followers: Pray and study

Religion is guidance and knowledge is strength
