1. وَقَوراءَ كَالفُلكِ المُستَديرِ

    تَروقُ العُيون بِلَألائِها

    And a broad basin, like the rounded celestial sphere,

    Delights the eyes with its sparkle.

  2. حَبَتها البِحارُ بِأَموجِها

    وَسُحُبُ السَماءِ بِأَنوائِها

    The seas have endowed it with their waves,

    And the clouds of heaven with their rains.

  3. كَأَنَّ تَدَفُّقَ تَيّارِها

    يَداكَ تَفيضُ بِنُعمائِها

    As though the surge of its current

    Were your two hands, overflowing with their bounties.

  4. وَجودُكَ أَغزَرُ مِن جَريِها

    وَخُلقُكَ أَعذَبُ مِن مائِها

    And your generosity is more abundant than its flow,

    And your character is sweeter than its water.
