الخَلقُ مِن أَربَعٍ مُجَمَّعَةٍ

الخَلقُ مِن أَربَعٍ مُجَمَّعَةٍ

نارٍ وَماءٍ وَتُربَةٍ وَهَوا

نارٍ وَماءٍ وَتُربَةٍ وَهَوا

Creation is made from four elements brought together:

fire, water, earth, and air.

إِنَّ السُهى وَالسِماكَ ما غَفَلا

إِنَّ السُهى وَالسِماكَ ما غَفَلا

عَن ذِكرِ مَولاهُما وَلا سَهَوا

عَن ذِكرِ مَولاهُما وَلا سَهَوا

Indeed, al-Suhā and al-Simāk have not been heedless

of remembering their Lord, nor have they been forgetful.

وَالنيرانِ المُواصِلانِ سَناً

وَالنيرانِ المُواصِلانِ سَناً

إِن نَلهُ في أَرضِنا فَما لَهَوا

إِن نَلهُ في أَرضِنا فَما لَهَوا

And the two luminaries, continually giving radiance—

if we receive it on our earth, they have not been playing.

وَالشَمسُ وَالغَيثُ طاهِيانِ لَهُ

وَالشَمسُ وَالغَيثُ طاهِيانِ لَهُ

يُطعِمُ أَهلَ البِلادِ ما طَهَوا

يُطعِمُ أَهلَ البِلادِ ما طَهَوا

And the sun and the rain are two cooks for Him;

He feeds the people of the lands what those two have cooked.
