And a bride among the daughters of the

A bride of noble birth,

vine, beneath a veil and in a secluded chamber,

In veil and tent,

برزت في خير دَرٍّ

emerged in the finest outpouring,

Appeared in finest garb—

and upon her was a necklace of pearls.

Pearls on her brow—

If you saw her in the hands of someone more

Held by the hand of one

Fairer than Joseph of Egypt.

You would have said the sun

has risen in the palm of a full moon."

Rose in the full moon's palm.
