1. شَهِدَت جَلوَةَ العَروسِ جِنانٌ

    فَاِستَمالَت بِحُسنِها النَظّارَه

    Jinan attended the bride's unveiling.

    And with her beauty she captivated the onlookers.

  2. حَسِبوها العَروسَ حينَ رَأَوها

    فَإِلَيها دونَ العَروسِ الإِشارَه

    They thought her the bride when they saw her.

    So they pointed to her rather than to the bride.

  3. قالَ أَهلُ العَروسِ حينَ رَأَوها

    ما دَهانا بِها سِوى عَمّارَه

    The bride's family said when they saw her:

    "No one but Ammara has inflicted her on us."
