1 Common to all mankind, auspicious sun, he who beholdeth all, is mounting upward;

The sign, the eye of the All-Seeing and the Friend, who rolled up darkness like a piece of leather.

2 The sun's great ensign, restless as the billow, that urgeth men to action, is advancing:

Onward he still would roll the wheel well-rounded, which the swift horse, harnessed to the car-pole, moveth.

3 Refulgent from the bosom of the mornings, he in whom singers take delight ascendeth.

This sun, God's sign, is my chief joy and pleasure, who breaketh not the universal statute.

4 Golden, far-seeing, from the heaven he riseth: far is his goal, he hasteth on resplendent.

Men, verily, inspirited by the sun speed to their aims and do the work assigned them.

5 Where God's decree hath prepared his pathway he flieth through the region like a falcon.

With homage and offerings made for Your sake will we serve, O All-Seeing and Friend, when the sun hath risen.

6 Now the Friend, the All-Seeing, the Lord of kindness vouchsafe us freedom and room, for us and for our children.

May we find paths all fair and good to travel. Preserve us evermore with blessings.
