أَأَبْصَرْتَ مِنِّي فِي الْمَصَانِعِ قُبَّةً

تَأَنَّقَ فِيَّ السَّعْدُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبِ

Have you seen a dome built by me in the factories

Where fortune adorned me from every side?

فَتُتْلَى سُطُورُ الْكَتْبِ فَوْقِيَ دَائِماً

وَتُعْرَضُ مِنْ تَحْتِي سُطُورُ الْكَتَائِبِ

My lines are recited on me continuously

While lines of misfortune are displayed under me

وَفِي سَاحَتِي مَسْعىً لِطَالِبِ رَحْمَةٍ

وَمَأَمَنُ مُرْتَاعِ وَمَوْقِفُ تَائِبِ

In my courtyard is a place for one seeking mercy

And refuge for the frightened and a stopping place for the penitent

فَقُلْ فِي إِنِّي لِلْمُؤَمِّلِ كَعْبَةٌ

وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَبْرِزْتُ فِي زِيِّ كَاعِبِ

Say that I am like the Kaaba for the hopeful

Even if I have appeared in the garb of a deceiver

أَنَا الْغَادَةُ الْحَسْنَاءُ يُغْنِي جَمَالُهَا

عَنِ الدُّرِّ مِنْ فَوْقِ الطُّلَى وَالتَّرَائِبِ

I am the beautiful, radiant one whose beauty

Makes gems atop the hills and dunes unnecessary

وَمَا الْحْسْنُ إِلاَّ مَا يَكْونُ طَبيعَةً

بِلاَ جُهْدِ مُحْتَالٍ وَلاَ كَسْبِ كَاسِبِ

Beauty is only what comes naturally

Without struggling or earning like a worker

وَمِنْ آيِتِي أَنَّي عَلَى حَالِ عِزَّتِي

قَعَدْتُ بِبَابِ الْمُلْكِ مَقْعَدَ حَاجِبِ

And of my signs is that in my pride

I sat at the door of the king like a guard

أَدُلُّ عَلَى مَا حَازَهُ مِنْ جَلاَلِةٍ

وَكَمْ شَاهِدٍ أَبْدَي مَحَاسِنَ غَائِبِ

I point to what he has of majesty

And how many absent witnesses show my hidden beauty

فَدَامَ جَمِيعَ الشَّمْلِ فِي ظِلِّ نِعْمَةٍ

مِنَ اللهِ مَشْمٌولاً بِحُسْنِ الْعَوَاقِبِ

So may the whole group remain under the shade of

God's blessing, enveloped in good consequences
