1. يا منزلاً باهى بتفويقهِ

    حدائقَ الروضِ وزَهرَ الأَكَم

    O dwelling that, in its excellence, rivaled

    The meadow gardens and the blossoms of the hills,

  2. كروضةٍ غنَّاءَ أنوارُها

    كالأَنجُمِ الزُهرِ بجنح الظُلَم

    Like a lush garden, its blossoms

    Like radiant stars beneath the wing of darkness.

  3. يروقُ للناظرِ إِبداعُها

    فتنجلي منهُ بُسُورُ الغُمَم

    Its artistry delights the beholder,

    So the scowl of sorrow is lifted from him.

  4. لازالت النَعماءُ تزهو بهِ

    والسعدُ لكن دون تَمَّت وتَم

    May prosperity ever flourish within it,

    And good fortune—but never 'finished' or 'done.'

  5. وانتابت الآلاءُ في آلهِ

    طولَ المَدَى مُفترَّةَ المُبتَسَم

    And may blessings keep visiting its household

    For all time, with lips parted in a smile,

  6. حتى يَرَوا للمجتدي مورداً

    عَذباً وللعافي مَعِينَ الكَرَم

    So that they may see a watering place for the gift-seeker,

    Sweet, and for the petitioner a wellspring of generosity.

  7. دامت لك النُعمَى بتاريخهِ

    دُمتَ بحفظ اللَه محوى النِعَم

    May bliss endure for you; its chronogram reads:

    'May you endure in God's keeping, an abode of blessings.'
