1. Good tidings it brought, though I did not hope for it,
Destiny ordained it, O my bliss and fortune!
١. بُشرى بِها زَورَةٌ ما كُنتُ أَرقُبُها
قَضى بِها الحَظُّ يا فَوزي وَإِسعادي
2. Blessed be a night blooming with companionship,
And blessed be a chance meeting without prior appointment!
٢. فَحَبَّذا لَيلَةً بِالأُنسِ زاهِرَةً
وَحَبَّذا صُدفَةً مِن غَيرِ ميعادِ
