1. اُنظُر إِلى قُطرِ السَماءِ وَوَبلِها

    وَدُنُوِّ نائِلِها وَبُعدِ مَحَلِّها

    Look at the sky’s rain and its downpour,

    The nearness of its bounty and the remoteness of its station,

  2. وَشُمولُ ما نَشَرتَهُ مِن مَعروفِها

    فَاِنبَثَّ في حَزنِ البِلادِ وَسَهلِها

    And the wide reach of the kindness you have spread,

    Which spread through the land’s rugged ground and plains.

  3. بَل ما يَروعُكَ مِن وُفورِ عَطائِها

    وَعُلُوِّ مَوضِعِها وَلِذَّةِ ظِلِّها

    But what awes you about its abundant bounty

    And its lofty station and the delight of its shade?

  4. اُنظُر بَني زَيدٍ فَإِنَّ مَحَلَّهُم

    مِن فَوقِها وَعَطاءَهُم مِن قَبلِها

    Look at the sons of Zayd, for their station

    Is above it, and their bounty comes before its own.
