1. وَما الأَرضُ إِلّا قَيسُ عَيلانَ أَهلُها

    لَهُم ساحَتاها سَهلُها وَحُزومُها

    The earth’s people are none but Qays ʿAylān.

    Theirs are its two expanses, its level ground and its rocky uplands.

  2. وَقَد نالَ آفاقَ السَماواتِ مَجدُنا

    لَنا الصَحوُ مِن آفاقِها وَغُيومُها

    And our glory has reached the horizons of the heavens.

    Ours are the clear skies of their horizons and their clouds.
