حُمِدتَ نجيباً لا تشان بريبة

حُمِدتَ نجيباً لا تشان بريبة

مدى الدهر لمّا كنت من خير مَغرِسِ

مدى الدهر لمّا كنت من خير مَغرِسِ

You were praised as noble-born, untainted by suspicion,

You were praised as an honorable man without reproach

For all time, since you came from the finest stock.

For as long as you were from the best stock

وزُوِّجت شمساً أيها البدر فانجلت

وزُوِّجت شمساً أيها البدر فانجلت

بنوركما الأكدار فهي كحندس

بنوركما الأكدار فهي كحندس

And you were wed to a sun, O full moon; then vanished,

And you were married, oh moon, to a sun, so you shone

By the light of you both, the sorrows—for they are like pitch-black night.

With your combined light the hearts, as Indian jasmine

فدم بسرورٍ دائم الهطل وبله

فدم بسرورٍ دائم الهطل وبله

ونيل الهنا أرِّخ وبالخير عرِّسِ

ونيل الهنا أرِّخ وبالخير عرِّسِ

So remain in joy whose downpour falls unceasingly,

So live in everlasting happiness and plenty

And in attaining bliss; record the date, and celebrate your wedding with good fortune.

And record our joy, and may goodness be your wedding gift
