1. Alexander the noble and high-ranking
With his wedding, the congratulations were most eloquent
١. اسكندر الشهم الرَفيع مقامهُ
بزفافهِ نُطقُ التَهاني افصحا
2. And the birds of companionship tightened in their branches
When they saw the rosebud of joy blossoming
٢. وَشدت طيو الانس في اغصانها
لما رأَت ثغر السرور تفتحا
3. O beauty of a day, date it as the day
The full moon in its happiness met the morning sun
٣. يا حسن يومٍ ارَّخوهُ لقي بِهِ
بدرُ الدجى في سعدهِ شمسَ الضحى
