يَا مَنزِلاً كَانَ أهلُوهُ لِرفعَتِهِ

يَا مَنزِلاً كَانَ أهلُوهُ لِرفعَتِهِ

يَرَونَهُ فِي الدَّراري مُعرِقَ النَّسَبِ

يَرَونَهُ فِي الدَّراري مُعرِقَ النَّسَبِ

O dwelling, whose inhabitants, because of its loftiness,

O dwelling whose people were ennobled by its loftiness

deemed it of deep-rooted lineage among the brilliant stars,

They look upon it in the valleys, pure of lineage,

يُحَدِّثُونَ النُّجُومَ الزُّهرَ مِن أُمَمٍ

يُحَدِّثُونَ النُّجُومَ الزُّهرَ مِن أُمَمٍ

وَيَشربُونَ نَميرَ المَاء في السُّحُبِ

وَيَشربُونَ نَميرَ المَاء في السُّحُبِ

conversed with the radiant stars at close quarters,

Conversing with stars and flowers of nations

and drank pure, sweet water in the clouds.

Drinking clear water from the clouds
