1. زواجُ ابن ياسين زواجٌ مبارَكٌ

    يَقُرُّ عَيناً ويهنا ويَسْعَدُ

    Ibn Yasin’s marriage is a blessed marriage.

    His eye is gladdened, and he is contented and happy.

  2. به الخير مجلوب إليه جميعه

    وفيه التهاني كلّها تتولد

    Through it, all goodness is brought to him.

    And in it, all congratulations are born.

  3. تُسَرُّ به من آل ياسين عصبةٌ

    لهم شرف في الأكرمين وسؤدد

    A group from the house of Yasin is gladdened by it.

    They have honor among the noblest, and eminence.

  4. من القوم لم يصنع سواهم صنيعهم

    بل البر بل سادوا به وتفرّقوا

    No one else among the people has done deeds like theirs.

    Rather, benevolence—indeed, through it they became leaders and dispersed.

  5. وقد ورثوها عن أبيهم مكارماً

    وها هي في أبنائهم تتجدَّد

    And they inherited these noble qualities from their father.

    And behold, they are renewed in their sons.

  6. ولم يبرحوا أبناء ياسين في الندى

    مناهلَ جود كالمناهل تورد

    And the sons of Yasin have never ceased, in generosity,

    To be wellsprings of bounty, visited like watering places.

  7. هما ما هما في المكرمات كلاهما

    محمد في النجب الكرام وأحمد

    Those two—how great they are in noble deeds, both of them:

    Muhammad and Ahmad, among the distinguished and generous.

  8. تُعَدُّ كرامُ النَّاس في بلديهما

    فعدَّا ولم تعقد وراءهما يد

    The noble among the people are counted in their two towns.

    So the two were counted, and no hand bent a finger after them.

  9. بقيت بقاء النيرين محمد

    بناعم خفض العيش لا تتنكّد

    May you endure as long as the two luminaries, Muhammad,

    In the pleasant ease of life, never knowing distress.

  10. وفي البشر والأَرواح فولي مؤرِّخاً

    تزوجت فابقى في الهنا يا محمَّد

    And amid gladness and spirits, [perhaps: my words] mark the date:

    You have wed; so remain in happiness, O Muhammad.
