1. بِكُلّ كَمِيٍّ يُبيدُ العِدَا

    ويُشرِقُ من وجهِه المُنتَدى

    With every armored warrior who annihilates the foes,

    And whose face lights up the gathering.

  2. وتُنضي المَطيّ إليه السُّرى

    ويستقصِرُ الركبُ طولَ المدَى

    And night journeys toward him exhaust the mounts,

    And the caravan deems the long distance short.

  3. وتهَوي إليه بناتُ القُلوبِ

    بِرَوضٍ تَرَقرَقَ فيه النَّدى

    And the daughters of hearts swoop toward him,

    In a meadow where the dew shimmers.

  4. إذا جهل السَّمتَ قُصّاده

    تَضوَّع نشرٌ به يُهتدى

    When those seeking him do not know the way,

    A fragrance wafts by which they are guided.

  5. ولاحَت على شرفٍ حُرّةٌ

    تمدُّ إلى كُلّ سارٍ يَدا

    And a noble flame gleams upon a height,

    Stretching a hand toward every night traveler.

  6. فتنقِذُه من بُحورِ الظَّلامِ

    وتقذِفهُ في بُحورِ النَّدى

    So it rescues him from seas of darkness,

    And casts him into seas of generosity.
