1. Today the greatest joy is complete
And the gloomy cloud has given birth

2. Peace has healed wounds that bled
With blood from their gashes, rivers

3. And security came with its gifts
So every soul feels satisfied

4. It's as if security were a spring
In everything it reveals its splendor

5. Where a diffusing fragrance is hidden
And where a blooming branch appears

6. And time in its course is cheerful
And life in its prime is verdant

7. For wishes there is a spring to drink from
And for the wealthy a source to draw from

8. How delightful peace is and its tidings
And people's joy at what they've been told

9. The days used to compete but today
Competed with it, the day we attend

10. Those who love you almost don't know
Which of the two joys is greater

11. Ask the first, your lights enchant
Have they forgotten that gloom is dispelled?

12. Ask the first, your flowers please
Is the garden's rose or yours more splendid?

13. It fulfills happiness for one who spends the night
In safety having attained what he prefers

14. And the most perfect bliss with its joys
Is what the most deserving attains

15. Praise be to God that a war has passed
In which the backs were broken

16. It almost deceived people had they not seen
In the unseen that truth is victorious

17. A disaster - its era made it great
And the ages make its like tremendous

18. How enormous the stars of ill omens appeared in its horizons
The evilest of which are flaming

19. Until God made facing it
Stars of good fortune whose signals are benevolent

20. Among them a shining planet in Egypt
How excellent is its shining planet!

21. It's as if its eyes were cups
As if its pearls were Kawthar

22. It fulfilled so the guidance of its light was not veiled
Except the dawn of guidance appeared

23. Daughter of Pleiades, I am inquiring
Perhaps one with knowledge can inform

24. When dawn appears and its signs
It's as if they are its standards raised

25. And all the sleepy remain for a while
In the depths of dreams, confused

26. Staying up at night as if for a dance
Or party she stays awake

27. The mother is heedless of her child
And the wet nurse takes lightly her duty

28. Who is she that rises early
And the lady of the house who rises early

29. She abandons amusement in her home
That cannot be abandoned if one is able

30. She goes out briskly, a hidden observer races with her
Like lightning or a captive

31. In clothes that reveal charms
Of manners that blossom

32. She appears happy with her knowledge
And it's known the poorest are happiest

33. She frequents a clinic, not too proud
Though the destitute crowd its corners

34. Whoever passes by is driven away
By the pain of the scene he witnesses

35. What is the state of one whose tribulations
Inform, from his afflictions, what they inform

36. Their company is lonely for them
And the most wretched are their company

37. A child among them walking steadily
And among them the smallest, and smaller

38. Their liveliest in play and chatter
Makes you cry whether he babbles or prattles

39. And youths whom ignorance will ruin
With ruin in its wake, a warner

40. And a nursing mother complaining of dryness
And an old man moaning from frailty

41. And a little girl whose eye has not yet sparkled
Though illness has made her cheek red

42. And a beauty who guards her honor
Though poverty tears away her veil

43. If the heart is guarded that is piety
The garment is just a responsibility to be guarded

44. My worry for those souls that settled
And tenderness would be restored if mended

45. Those are the wretched ones, they are portrayed
In pictures that appall or make afraid

46. They have faces on which specks appear
Whoever sees them, it hurts what he sees

47. They frown even when flashing
That smile which gives good tidings

48. O pity for that emancipated one
Whose virtues in kindness are beyond measure

49. She appeared and the light appeared after the gloom
She came and time seeks forgiveness

50. She comforts gently or consoles
Sometimes gentle comforts weary and consoles not

51. She is supremely patient beyond the pain of the complainant
And beyond the complainant's patience she is more patient

52. She chases away poverty with her charity
And it is the most cunning of villains

53. She battles hunger with her faith
And hunger is the eye of disbelief or worse than disbelief

54. She stays in generosity, pardoning
What refinement and affluence would bring about

55. And with the white hand she builds
What addiction and drunkenness destroy

56. Some blame her slowness to reproach
Yet she does not blame them if they fall short

57. She does not care how she is
Except as the pure revelation commands

58. Pardoning people though they
Suspect goodness and do not pardon

59. And after this, how often she comes
In her day or makes a welcomed visit

60. How much service in every society
For charity, never flagging or bored

61. How many houses of gloom, when she enters
Their best side returns to them

62. How many lost souls she saves from perdition
Though the world had almost tripped them up

63. How many whose honor she seeks to protect
She is cautious though the closest is not cautious

64. How often she cares for a patient without
A thought of danger occurring to her

65. She is not content with money but gives
Of health what can be stored

66. Great in worth but to
All the insignificant she belittles herself

67. She was granted to Egypt a sister before her
With what other sister after her will she be rewarded?

68. Orphans of the age, are they perchance,
A third the ages will bring?

69. Cecile, do you know her I mention?
It is you I mention, do not be angry

70. Do not be angry at my praise, it
Is deserved and should be thanked

71. Words do not suffice for the resolve
In which your freshest life force was spent

72. Greet on my behalf the fair youth
Whose reason at her age is rare

73. Branch of a father whose mention among his people
Is the most enduring mention

74. Image of a mother of excellent manners
Revealed by merit, not her display

75. Descendant of the generous family, the first
Whose reputation in every club is fragrant

76. With subtle generosity they surpassed virtues
And generosity is giving and veiling

77. An ancient house whose traces
In bounty and guidance still impact

78. To the son of Eid her heart inclines
And people at feasts are delighted

79. Maurice from a household of high lineage
His status in glory cannot be denied

80. His father is of high ancestry and prestigious pilgrimage
And his fair mother is the most blossoming

81. The attributes befitting him were truthful
Some would boast if having only one

82. So congratulate yourself on the husband you've been given
Your husband is none but the most pure King

83. Live in bliss and grow and multiply
For progeny is best when the lineage is pure
