للَّه فوار ماءٍ كاللجين بدا

للَّه فوار ماءٍ كاللجين بدا

في حوضه لاعباً يهدي لنا دررا

في حوضه لاعباً يهدي لنا دررا

How wondrous the fountain of water, appearing like silver,

A fountain flows for God, like stormy seas,

Playing in its basin, offering us pearls.

Playing in its basin, granting us pearls,

كأنه عابدٌ قد شاب من كبرٍ

كأنه عابدٌ قد شاب من كبرٍ

واهتز يقرأُ أبيات الصفا سحرا

واهتز يقرأُ أبيات الصفا سحرا

As though it were a worshipper, grown gray with age,

As if a worshipper grown old from age

And swaying as he recites verses of purity before dawn.

Trembling recites verses of purity at dawn.
