1. نَشكُرُ اللَهَ لم يَصِر غيرُ هذا

    من بَلاءِ غُبارُهُ كادَ يُعقَد

    We thank God: nothing other than this occurred—

    A calamity whose dust nearly knotted together.

  2. قد حَبانا العقولَ خيرَ حِباءٍ

    فلهُ الشُكرُ والثناءُ المؤَبَّد

    He has bestowed on us minds, the finest gift.

    So to Him belong thanks and everlasting praise.

  3. رُبَّ قومٍ يستهزئُونَ بشُكرٍ

    عندما شُكرُ ربِّهم يُتَجدَّد

    Many people mock thanksgiving

    Whenever thanks to their Lord are renewed.

  4. قُونِنوا من رئيسِهِم عَدَمَ الشُكر

    وذا في اللَظى عَذَابٌ مخلَّد

    They were enjoined by their leader to withhold thanks,

    And this is everlasting torment in the blaze.
