1. فديتك للندى والعلم بحراً

    إذا جارى نداه المزنُ غرّر

    I would give my life for you, a sea of generosity and learning.

    If rain clouds vie with his bounty, they court peril.

  2. كسوت العبد برداً من فخارٍ

    حريريٍّ على العليا تحرّر

    You clothed your servant in a mantle of glory,

    Silken, finely wrought for the heights of honor.

  3. تحرّر نظمه معنًى ولفظاً

    فيا لله من بردٍ محرّر

    Its composition was perfected in meaning and wording.

    So, O God, what a finely wrought mantle!
