1. إِلَى هُنَا رَاهِباً صَالِحاً

    وَأَدِيباً شَاعِراً مُلْهَمَا

    Up to here, a righteous monk,

    and a man of letters, an inspired poet.

  2. أَعْجَبْ بها أَوْحَى إِلَيْكَ النُّعْمَى

    فَكَانَ فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا فِي السَّمَا

    Marvel at it—he revealed bliss to you,

    so it was on earth as in heaven.
