إِلَيْكَ أُهْدِي ثَنَائِي

وأَسْتَقِلُ الكَلامَا

To you I dedicate my praise

And craft this ode’s refrain

مَاذَا يُكَافِئُ سِفْراً

مُخَلَّداً أَحْكَامَا

What can requite a journey made

With laws that will remain?

آياتُ عَدلِكَ فِيهَا

قَدْ أَحْكِمتْ إِحْكَامَا

Your signs of justice rendered there

Prevail, precise, the same.
