1. يا آل عمران إنّ الله فضلكم

    بمريم بنت عمران التي كملتْ

    O family of Imran, God has indeed favored you

    through Maryam, daughter of Imran, who attained perfection,

  2. بما رآه الذي لله كفلها

    من العناية فيما فيه قد كفلتْ

    through what the one who cared for her for God's sake saw

    of providential care in the guardianship under which she had been placed.

  3. أتى إليها وفي محرابها طبق

    فقال ماذا فقالت رتبة عجلت

    He came to her, and in her prayer chamber was a platter.

    He said, 'What is this?' She said, 'A rank granted early.'

  4. خذها إليكم فإنَّ الله أطلعكم

    لتسألوه فإن النفسَ ما بخلت

    Take it to yourselves, for God has made you aware,

    so that you may ask Him, for the soul has not been miserly.

  5. فكان يحيى حصوراً مثلها وبها

    لهمة من أبيه عنده حَصلت

    Thus Yahya was chaste like her, and through her,

    owing to an aspiration from his father that arose in him.

  6. فاستفرغت طاقة الإنسان حالتها

    هذي مقالتها لو أنها سئلت

    Her state thus exhausted all human capacity.

    These would be her words, were she asked.

  7. لقد نظرت إليها وهي سافرةٌ

    فما به فصلت به لها وصلت

    I have indeed looked upon her while she was unveiled.

    Thus what set her apart was, for her, the means of union.

  8. فانظر إليها وسلمها لخالقعا

    فإن نفسك تُجزي بالذي عملت

    So look upon her and entrust her to her Creator,

    for your soul is recompensed for what it has done.
