للهِ مَبْنًى حَلاَهُ معْنًى

للهِ مَبْنًى حَلاَهُ معْنًى

أَوْحَاهُ وَهْناً إِلَيْكَ عُلْوُ

أَوْحَاهُ وَهْناً إِلَيْكَ عُلْوُ

What a form, made lovely by meaning!

God has a building whose ornament is meaning

Sublimity inspired it to you at night.

He inspired it with a inclination towards you, loftiness

اللَّفْظُ حُلْوٌ وَالفِكْرُ حُلْوٌ

اللَّفْظُ حُلْوٌ وَالفِكْرُ حُلْوٌ

وَاسْمُ الأدِيبِ المَجيدِ حُلْوُ

وَاسْمُ الأدِيبِ المَجيدِ حُلْوُ

The wording is sweet, and the thought is sweet,

The wording is sweet and the thought is sweet

And the illustrious writer's name is sweet.

And the name of the eminent writer is sweet
