لَم أَرَ نحسا مُذ غداةِ أَمس

لَم أَرَ نحسا مُذ غداةِ أَمس

أَبصَرتُ شَمساً في شُموس خَمسِ

أَبصَرتُ شَمساً في شُموس خَمسِ

I have seen no ill fortune since yesterday morning.

Since yesterday morn I have seen no ill omen,

I beheld a sun among five suns.

I saw a sun amidst five suns

تَفضُلهنّ بِكَمال اللُّبس

تَفضُلهنّ بِكَمال اللُّبس

فضلَ العروس أهلَها في العُرسِ

فضلَ العروس أهلَها في العُرسِ

She surpasses them in the perfection of her attire,

Excelling them in full attire,

as a bride surpasses her family at the wedding.

Like a bride excelling over her kith and kin at her wedding.
