أَإِيوَانَ كِسْرَى هَلْ دَهَاكَ وَأَنْذَرَا
بُرُوزُ نَبِيٍّ إِنَّ كِسْــرَى تَقَهْقَـرَا

A-īwāna Kisrā hal dahāka wa andharā
burūzu nabiyyin inna Kisrā taqah-qarā

O Arch of Chosroes, did the emergence of a Prophet startle and warn you? For indeed, Chosroes has retreated.

أَكِسْرَى أَنُو شَرْوَانَ جَاءَ مُحَمَّــدٌ
بِآيَاتِهِ الْكُبْرَى وَقَصْرُكَ أَبْصَرَا

O Chosroes Anushirwan, Muhammad has come with his greatest signs, and your palace has witnessed them.

أَكِسْرَى أَنُو شَرْوَانَ جَاءَ مُحَمَّــدٌ
وَهَلْ قَطَعَ الْأَنْهَارَ أَمْ هَلْ تَفَجَّرَا

A-Kisrā Anū Sharwāna jā’a Muḥammadu
wa hal qaṭaʿa-l anhāra am hal tafaj-jarā

O Chosroes Anushirwan, Muhammad has come; did he cut through the rivers, or did they gush forth?

أَكِسْرَى أَنُو شَرْوَانَ جَاءَ مُحَمَّــدٌ
وَهَـلْ قَـدْ أَتَاكَ الْمُوبِذَانُ مُـكَـبِّــرَا

A-Kisrā Anū Sharwāna jā’a Muḥammadu

O Chosroes Anushirwan, Muhammad has come; did the high priest (Mubidhan) come to you proclaiming God's greatness?

أَكِسْرَى أَنُو شَرْوَانَ جَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ
يُرَتِّــلُ ذِكْرًا مُنْـذِرًا وَمُبَشِّــرَا

A-Kisrā Anū Sharwāna jā’a Muḥammadu

O Chosroes Anushirwan, Muhammad has come, reciting a Remembrance that is both a warning and glad tidings.

وَقَدْ سَجَـــدَ الْمَعْبُــودُ لِلَّهِ نَاطِقًـا
وَقَدْ أَنْبَأَ الْكُهَّانُ مَا كَانَ مُضْمَرَا

Wa qad sajada-l maʿbūdu lillāhi nāṭiqā
wa qad anba’a-l kuh-hānu mā kāna muḍmarā

The worshipped idols prostrated to Allah, speaking; and the soothsayers revealed what was once hidden.

سَلاَمٌ عَلَى نُورِ الْإِلَهِ الَّذِي خَبَــتْ
بِأَنْوَارِهِ أَنْوَارُ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَـــرَا

Salāmun ʿalā nūri-l ilāhi-l ladhī khabat

Peace be upon the Light of God, by whose radiance the lights of Chosroes and Caesar were extinguished.

سَـلاَمٌ عَلَى مَنْ جَاءَ وَهْوَ بِمَكَّــةٍ
بِنُورٍ بِـهِ إِيوَانُ كِسْـرَى تَكَسَّــرَا

Salāmun ʿalā man jā’a wa huwa bi-Makkatin

Peace be upon the one who came while he was in Mecca with a light by which the Arch of Chosroes was shattered.

سَلاَمٌ عَلَى سِرِّ الْوُجُودِ وَرَمْــزِهِ
فَلِلَّهِ مَــا أَعْلَـى وَأَغْلَـى وَأَبْهَـرَا

Salāmun ʿalā sirri-l wujūdi wa ramzihi

Peace be upon the secret of existence and its symbol; how exalted, precious, and dazzling God has made him.

سَلاَمٌ عَلَى مَنْ جَاءَ وَالْكَوْنُ كُلُّهُ

Salāmun ʿalā man jā’a wa-l kawnu kulluhu

Peace be upon the one who came while the whole universe was in darkness, and from his lights, it became illuminated.

سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْهِ مِـــنْ خَدِيـــمٍ مُتَيَّــمٍ

Salāmun ʿalayhi min khadīmin mutayyamin

وَلِيدًا فَلاَ يُبْقِي لِذَا الْكُفْرِ مَظْهَــرَا

For the one who tore down this palace while he was a newborn in Mecca shall leave no trace of this disbelief.

وَمَنْ هَدَّ هَـذَا الْقَصْرَ وَهْوَ بِمَكَّةٍ
سَيَهْدِمُ قَصْرَ الْكُفْرِ حِينَ تَدَكَّـــرَا

Wa man hadda hadhā-l qaṣra wa huwa bi-Makkatin
sa-yahdimu qaṣra-l kufri ḥīna tadak-karā

The one who tore down this palace while he was in Mecca shall demolish the palace of disbelief when it is remembered.

عَلَيْـــهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَأُبْصِرُ حَظَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مُوَفَّـرَا
