فِعالُكَ مَقصورٌ عَلَيهِ المَحامِدُ

فِعالُكَ مَقصورٌ عَلَيهِ المَحامِدُ

وَوَقَفَ عَلَيهِ بِالثَناءِ المُشاهِدُ

وَوَقَفَ عَلَيهِ بِالثَناءِ المُشاهِدُ

To your deeds alone all praise is confined,

Your deeds are the object of praise

and the beholder pauses over them in praise.

And witnesses stand to eulogize you

وَإِنَّ الَّذي يَبغي نَظيرُكَ مُخطِئُ

وَإِنَّ الَّذي يَبغي نَظيرُكَ مُخطِئُ

لِأَنَّكَ جَمعٌ وَالبَرِيَّةُ واحِدُ

لِأَنَّكَ جَمعٌ وَالبَرِيَّةُ واحِدُ

And indeed, whoever seeks your equal is mistaken,

He who seeks your equal errs

For you are perfect and creation is one

وَقَد يُؤنِسُ الزُوّارَ مِنكَ إِذا اِلتَقوا

وَقَد يُؤنِسُ الزُوّارَ مِنكَ إِذا اِلتَقوا

سَخاءٌ عَلَيهِ لِلطَلاقَةِ شاهِدُ

سَخاءٌ عَلَيهِ لِلطَلاقَةِ شاهِدُ

Your generosity brings joy to visitors

generosity, to which your cheerful welcome bears witness.

As openhandedness bears witness

بَدائِعُ أَفعالٍ تَناهى جَمالُها

فَهُنَّ لِأَعناقِ اللَيالي قَلائِدُ

فَهُنَّ لِأَعناقِ اللَيالي قَلائِدُ

Wondrous deeds whose beauty has reached perfection—

Marvels of deeds whose beauty is unparalleled

Adorning the necks of nights like necklaces

مَشَهَّرَةٌ في العالَمينَ كَأَنَّها

مَشَهَّرَةٌ في العالَمينَ كَأَنَّها

عَلى صَفَحاتِ اللَيلِ مِنها فَراقِدُ

عَلى صَفَحاتِ اللَيلِ مِنها فَراقِدُ

Renowned throughout the worlds, as though

Renowned in both worlds as if

some of them were Farqad stars upon the pages of night.

Resting on the pages of night
