لوْ أنّنِي فيكَ بذَلْتُ الدُّنا

حَسِبْتُها كالثّمَنِ البَخْسِ

If I spent my whole life for you

I'd count it as the cheapest price

يا قُرّةَ العيْنِ وُقِيتَ الرّدَى

منْ أعْيُنِ الجنّةِ والإنْسِ

O solace of my eyes protected from harm

From the eyes of heaven and mankind

للّهِ ذِهْنٌ منْكَ مهْما سَرَى

في مُشْكِلٍ لمْ يبْقَ منْ لَبْسِ

God granted you a mind that when applied

To any complex issue, doubt would cease

شَريعَةُ الآدابِ لمّا أتَتْ

قامَتْ علَى أنْمُلِكَ الخَمْسِ

The code of manners, when it came to be

Stood on your five fingers tall with ease

وليْسَ بِدْعاً ما تخيّلْتَهُ

لا يُنْكَر النّورُ علَى الشّمْسِ

And it's no wonder you imagined it

Light cannot be denied by the sun
