1. الحَمْدُ للهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حالْ

    حَمْداً يُقَصِّرْ عَنْهُ طُولُ الْمَقَالْ

    Praise be to God in every state,

    praise that lengthy speech falls short of expressing.

  2. أَنالَني ما لَسْتُ أَهْلاً لَهُ

    فَضْلاً وطَوْلاً من عَظيمِ الجَلالْ

    He has granted me what I am not worthy of,

    as grace and bounty from the One of great majesty.

  3. فَلَسْتُ اُحْصِي جاهِداً حَمْدَهُ

    وشُكْرَهُ في كُلِّ حِينٍ وحَالْ

    So, strive though I may, I cannot count the praise due to Him

    and the thanks due to Him, at every time and in every state.

  4. حَمْداً كَعَدٍّ الحَمْدِ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي

    حَمْدٍ وتَعْدادِ الحَصَى والرِّمالْ

    Praise equal in number to the praises of every giver of

    praise, and to the count of pebbles and grains of sand.
