1. وَشَادٍ تَغَنَّى فَوْقَ كُرْسِيّ قَدّهِ

    تَبَارَكَ مَنْ قَدْ صَاغَهُ آيَةَ الكُرْسِي

    And a singer sang atop the throne of his stature;

    Blessed is He who fashioned him into the Verse of the Throne!

  2. وَقَامَ عَلَى الإيقَاعِ يَنْقُرُ طَارَهُ

    فَعَايَنْتُ بَدرَ التَّمِّ فِي رَاحَةِ الشَّمْسِ

    And he rose, tapping his tambourine to the rhythm;

    So I beheld the full moon in the sun’s palm.
