أَكرِم بِعُثمان وَالأَنوارُ ساطِعَةٌ

أَكرِم بِعُثمان وَالأَنوارُ ساطِعَةٌ

مِنهُ بِها تَستَنيرُ الدَّهرَ أَكوانُ

مِنهُ بِها تَستَنيرُ الدَّهرَ أَكوانُ

How noble is Uthman, with the lights shining

Honour Othman while the lights shine bright

From him; by them the worlds are illumined for all time.

Through him the ages are illuminated

نورٌ بِجَبهَتِهِ نورٌ بِمُهجَتِهِ

نورٌ بِجَبهَتِهِ نورٌ بِمُهجَتِهِ

وَدَّت بِمِثلِهما الجَوزاءُ تَزدانُ

وَدَّت بِمِثلِهما الجَوزاءُ تَزدانُ

A light upon his brow, a light within his soul—

A light on his brow, a light in his heart

Al-Jawza wished to be adorned with two such lights.

Like them Venus is adorned and arrayed

يا مَن تَعجَّبَ مِن هَذا بِلا نَظَرٍ

يا مَن تَعجَّبَ مِن هَذا بِلا نَظَرٍ

لا تَعجَبَنَّ فَذو النورينِ عُثمانُ

لا تَعجَبَنَّ فَذو النورينِ عُثمانُ

O you who marveled at this without reflection,

O you who without insight are amazed at this

Do not marvel, for Uthman is the possessor of the two lights.

Be not amazed, for he of the two lights is Othman
