1. With loyalty like this covenant, so let the covenant be,
With justice like this contract, so let the contract be,
١. وَفَاءً كَهَذَا العَهْدِ فَلْيَكُنِ الْعَهْدُ
وَعَدْلاً كَهَذَا العِقْدِ فَلْيَكُنِ العِقْدُ
2. Your marriage is what desire has willed for you,
And your home is what fortune has built for you,
٢. قَرَانُكُمَا مَا شَاءَهُ لَكُمَا الْهَوَى
وَبَيْتُكُمَا مَا شَادَهُ لَكُمَا السَّعْدُ
3. So reside happily, for contentment is what you have chosen,
And your life is serene, and your living pleasant,
٣. فَقُرَّا وَطِيبا فَالْمُنَى مَا رَضَيْتُمَا
وَدَهْرُكُمَا صَفْوٌ وَعَيْشُكُمَا رَغْدُ
4. Never once has God united two peers,
As He has united you - and rivalry befits the peer.
٤. وَمَا جَمَعَ اللهُ النَّظِيرَيْنِ مَرَّةً
كَجَمْعِكُمَا وَالنَّدُّ أَوْلَى بِهِ النَّدُّ
5. You are matched in worth, beauty and character,
As two roses match, when face to face.
٥. تَضَاهَيْتُمَا قَدْراً وَحُسْناً وَشِيْمَةً
كَمَا يَتَضَاهَى فِي تَقَابُلِهِ الْوَرْدُ
6. The proudest of the protected clan, your fathers,
And the brightest ancestor on high for you, your grandfather.
٦. أَعَزُّ أَعِزَّاءِ الحِمَى أَبَواكُمَا
وَأَسْطَعُ جَدٍّ فِي العُلَى لَكُمَا جَد
