1. زِدْتَ فِيها زادَكَ اللَّهُ عُلاً

    عُمْرَ بَدْرَ التِّمِّ لمَّا كَمَلا

    You have added to her—may God increase your eminence—

    the age of the full moon when it reached fullness.

  2. وَهْيَ في السَّبْعِينَ مِثلي وَلَها

    بَهْجَةُ البِكْرِ إذا ما تُجتَلَى

    And she is seventy, like me, yet she has

    the radiance of a maiden when she is unveiled.
