1. ما أَحسَنَ صُنعَ مُبدِعِ الأَشياءِ

    مُعطي الجَمَراتِ قُرصَةَ البَيضاءِ

    How beautiful the handiwork of the Creator of things!

    Who gives the embers the white one's round loaf,

  2. مَن ذَرَّ سوادَ إِثمِدِ الظَلماءِ

    في الأُفق تَشبُّ ناظِر الزَرقاءِ

    Who scattered darkness's black antimony kohl

    Upon the horizon, kindling the blue-eyed one's pupil.
