1. فَخْرُ الرَّصَانَةِ وَالكَمَالِ

    كَالشَّمْسِ فِي أُفُقِ الجَلاَلِ

    The pride of dignity and perfection,

    Like the sun on the horizon of majesty.

  2. أَنْوَارُهَا تُهدِي وَعَنْهَا

    الطَّرْفُ يَرْجَعُ فِي كِلاَلِ

    Her rays guide, and away from her

    The gaze returns in weariness.

  3. السُّحْبُ مِمَّا أَنْشَأَتْ

    فَضَلاً وَأَجْرَتْ بِالنَّوَالِ

    The clouds are among what she created

    In bounty, and set flowing with gifts.

  4. وَالرَّوْضُ مِنْ نَسْجِ النَّوَى

    وَالنورُ لِلْبرْدِ الغَوَالِي

    And the garden is woven from seeds

    And light into precious robes.

  5. يَا مَنْ جَرَتْ مِنْ نَبْعَتَيْهَا

    الأريحِيَّةُ وَالمَعَالِي

    O one from whose two springs

    Generosity and noble virtues have flowed,

  6. وَبِنُبلِهَا وَمَكارِم الأَخْلاَقِ

    جَلَّتْ عَنْ مثَالِ

    And who, through her nobility and virtues of character,

    Has risen beyond compare.

  7. رَمَضَانَ أَقْبَلُ فَأْهْنَئِي

    يَا خَيْرَ رَبَّاتِ الحِجَالِ

    Ramadan has arrived, so rejoice,

    O best of the ladies of curtained chambers!

  8. سَاعَاتُهُ وَنَدَى يَدَيْكِ

    مُسَلْسَلاَتٌ بِاتصَالِ

    Its hours and the dew of your hands

    Are linked in unbroken succession.

  9. كَمْ مِنَّةٍ فِيهِ كَفِلْتِ بِهَا

    الضَّعافَ مِنَ العِيَالِ

    With how many favors during it have you sustained

    The weak among dependents!

  10. كَمْ أَعْتَقَتْ نُعْماكِ مِنْ

    رَقِّ الهَوَانِ رَقِيقَ حَالِ

    How often has your bounty freed from

    The bondage of humiliation one of meager means!

  11. كَمْ سَاهِرٍ يَدْعُو لَكِ

    الرِّحْمَنَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي

    How many a wakeful soul prays for you

    To the All-Merciful on those nights!

  12. دُومِي رَعَاك اللهُ فِي

    بَحْبُوحَةٍ وَصَفَاءِ بَالِ

    May you ever remain—may God watch over you—in

    Prosperity and peace of mind.
