1. أأبْصَرْتَنا كالشُّهْبِ والشّمْسِ فِتيةً

    تَهَلَّلَ منّا البَرُّ والبَحْرُ ذو المَوْجِ

    Did you behold us, youths like shooting stars and the sun?

    The land and the sea with its waves rejoiced because of us.

  2. رَحَلْنا عنِ الأوجِ الرّفيعِ مَحَلُّهُ

    مَراحِلَ شتّى ثمّ عُدْنا الى الأوْجِ

    We departed from the zenith, whose station is lofty,

    through varied stages, then returned to the zenith.
