1. الحَظُّ قَد أَوفى وَأَوفى بِالمَنَنِ

    وَعَلى دَوامِ الأُنسِ حالَفَنا الزَمَنُ

    Fortune has been bountiful, and bountiful in its favors;

    And time has allied itself with us for lasting joy.

  2. وَلِآلِ مِزراحي الأَكارِمُ بِالهَنا

    مَنَّ الإِلَهُ وَبِالمُنى القَلب اِطمَأَنُ

    And on the noble Mizrahi family, happiness

    God bestowed in grace, and through hopes the heart found peace,

  3. بِقِرانِ جاكَ بَدرِ هالَةِ قَومِهِ

    وَمُتَيلَدَةَ شَمسِ الضُحى ذاتَ الفِطَنُ

    Through the marriage of Jacques, full moon in his people's halo,

    And Matilda, the forenoon sun, endowed with insight.

  4. وَبَدا السُرورُ لَمّا اِهتَدى الكَريمُ تَفَضُّلاً

    بِمُتَيلَدَةٍ ذاتَ البَها جاكَ اِقتَرَنُ

    And joy appeared when the noble one graciously found guidance;

    With Matilda of radiant beauty, Jacques was wed.

  5. وَالحَظُّ كُلُّ الحَظِّ أَن أَولاهُمو

    بِمَحاسِنَ الأَلطافِ مِن بَعدِ الوَهَنِ

    And fortune, the fullest fortune, was that He favored them

    With the finest kindnesses after weakness;

  6. فَحَباهُم وَلِنَعمَ هِيَ مِن مِنَّةِ

    بِشِفائِهِ مِمّا يورِثُ لِلشَجَنِ

    So He blessed them—what a splendid favor it was—

    With his recovery from what gives rise to sorrow.

  7. وَالبِشرُ قالَ مُهَلِّلاً وَمُؤَرِّخاً

    بِشِفاكَ جاكَ الحَظُّ قورِنَ بِالمِنَنِ

    And gladness said, exulting and recording the date:

    "With your recovery, Jacques, fortune was joined with favors."
