1. Love, and it was not ignorance in youth
He called early, but you did not say take your time

2. The people of passion are those who answered his call
And those who disobeyed, passion has no people

3. Does a blessing that one attained delight a person
If he was not delighted with it before?

4. Can one seek glory from its paths
If no glorious ancestry encouraged him?

5. O descendant of Jacob, his ambition
Is to be seen as glorious by the eminent

6. Your father is the most honorable of men in a country
Where his stay remains the highest

7. And you are who you are in struggle a lineage
And you are who you are in nobility excellence

8. Your morality is innocent and you have
Self-knowledge that heals the troubled conscience

9. If you start a matter, forbid it, and when
You take on a responsibility, you suffice the one who entrusted

10. Do not see fear if you think
It keeps you safe, and do not see stinginess

11. You spend neither sullen nor grudging
With a willing soul that doubles the substitute

12. How gentle the beautiful aid from
A beautiful face that captivated and did not exaggerate

13. The ornaments of the bloom of youth are enough for you that
You gained what no young man gained before

14. So be glorious, the two dawns of an awakening
In which loyalty does not cease

15. And seek with intelligence your origin
Honor with a branch that equals the origin

16. Is it today that you receive your good fortune
With its gate of prosperity bound, so enter it

17. A gate of flowers, so enter it to
The paradise of this life and settle

18. The gardens offered it their lilies
Roses, jasmine and vines

19. And poetry endowed it with its adornment
Of every type with its beauty more hanging

20. With every verse it cast, its articulations
In every intertwined branch, an articulation

21. And every word in a twisting growth
Like the soul in the body of delightful dissolution

22. A gate above the angels - your right
Has made few share it

23. O beautiful wedding, the eyes that witnessed it
Did not see the like of it in times past

24. In it serenity with tenderness covenanted
Consulting nobility, contending

25. He chose a houri who rivaled in courtesy
The best of maidens, outweighing reason

26. She surpassed her peers in manners
And resembled the most wondrous of beauties in form

27. Her attributes and name coincided, so she called
With magic in the eye whoever called “bride”

28. And many an eye, were it not for her chastity
Would have filled the pit of passion with slain

29. God granted that blushing face - how ruddy!
And that dignity - how sweet!

30. There was in the dynasty of eloquence one who
Galloped wildly thus he remained

31. His words were gentle, his purpose sublime
His composition precise, his thoughts glorious

32. And he cannot be matched among the eloquent when
He speaks an address or drafts or dictates

33. He continues to produce every wonder
And his resolve in literary device does not weaken

34. If he seeks praise he perfects it
And if he seeks satire he does not refrain

35. His conversation does not bore from charm
When the conversation of another bores

36. He is the most sincere friend to his companion
And he is the most truthful beside the eminent

37. So O two brides, by their pairing
Protection and splendor are united

38. And O two fellows of youth and youthfulness
They are life or they are more precious

39. My best congratulatory prayer to you
May you live happy and your progeny virtuous
