دارٌ عليها السعد دارْ

لمّا غدت للبدر دارْ

A house blessed with good fortune a house,

When it became the house of the full moon a house.

وأرى مصابيح العلا

كلٌّ بدارتها استدار

And I see the lamps of elevation

Each circling its house and dwelling.

ولكلّ سعدٍ طالعٌ

فعلى علاها له المدار

And for every good fortune there is a rising star,

So in its highest part lies its orbit.

فكأنّما هي قبّة ال

فلك العليّ الافتخار

As if it were a dome that

The mighty heaven takes pride in.

قد شادها الشهم الّذي

هو في الحمى قطب الديار

It was built by the generous one

Who is the pillar of homes.

أعني محمّد مَن بنَى

بين الورى ركنَ الفخار

I mean Muhammad who constructed

Between mankind the cornerstone of pride.

مَن كان مِن سنّ الصِّبا

شيخاً جليل الاعتبار

One who in his youth

Was a venerable and respected elder.

برٌّ غدا بحر الندى

والبحر بات إليه جار

The sea of bounty flowed from this benevolent one,

And the sea itself became his neighbor.

فلقد بناها كعبةً

للواردين هي المزار

He built it as a Kabba

For those arriving, it is the shrine.

فالعزّ طاف بركنها

يسعى وزمزم في المنار

Glory revolved around its corner,

Zamzam flows in the minaret.

وعلى التقى قد أسِّست

وإلى القرى دار القرار

It was founded on piety

And the abode of settlement for communities.

من حلّ ساحة سوحها

يجد الندى مثل البحار

Whoever enters its courtyard

Finds freshness like the seas.

بل كلّ من قد حلّها

أرّخ يراها خير دار

Rather anyone who enters it

Sees it as the best house, and records the date.
