عَليُّ لا زِلتَ مسروراً بسلمان

مَسَرَّةً تتمنَّى مُنذُ أزمانِ

Ali, you have always been delighted with Salman

A delight you have wished for since long ago

قد أعْلَنْتَ بالتهاني فهيَ معلنة

كما نؤمّلُ فيها أيَّ إعلان

You announced your congratulations, so they are announced

As we hope for any announcement

فلا تزال مدى الأيام في طربٍ

مُنَعَّم البال في رَوحٍ وريحان

So you will always be in joy throughout the days

With a content mind and spirit of delight

وسرّك الله في تزويج ذي شرف

من دوحة من علاء ذات أفنان

May God bless you in marrying the honorable

From Doha, from the eminent with beauties

وخير ما أَنْتَ قد زوّجتَ من ولد

كفواً بكفوٍ وأقراناً بأقران

And the best whom you have married your son to

Is equal to equal, and peers to peers

هنّيتُه بسرور في تزّوجه

ولو درى بسروري فيه هنَّاني

I congratulated him with joy on his marriage

If only he knew my joy in him, he would congratulate me

أسْدَيتَها مِنّةً بات الهناء بها

يُعيد آثار أفراح بأعيان

You have bestowed a favor on him, joy has remained through it

Reviving the effects of joy in notables

فَضْلٌ من الله ما تسديه من منن

تجرُّ في حَلَبات الفضل أرساني

A blessing from God is what you confer of favors

Dragging behind in the racecourses of virtue my banners

يا متبعاً هبة الأولى بثانية

وطالما تتبع الحسنى بإحسان

O you who followed the first gift with a second

And you have always followed goodness with benevolence

شكراً لأيديك ما زلت تفيض لنا

مناهلَ الجود تروي كل ظمآن

Thank you to your hands that still overflow upon us

The springs of generosity quenching every thirsty one

تنهلُّ ما اعترض العافي سماحتها

فأنتَ والعارض المنهل سيّان

You attain whatever fine trait has opposed its generosity

So you and the fine opposer are equal

عَلَتْ برِفْعَتِك السادات وافتخَرتْ

حتَّى لقد خِلْتَها تعلو لكيوان

Through your eminence the masters have risen and taken pride

To the point that you have made them rise above Canopus

وكيفَ لا تتعالى سادة نجب

فيها عليٌّ عليُّ القدر والشان

And how could eminent masters not rise high

When amongst them is Ali, Ali of esteem and glory

فكم تجلّى لنا من وجهه قمرٌ

فراح يجلو به همّي وأحزاني

So how much a moon has appeared to us through his face

Then it went to dispel my worries and sorrows

الله أبقى بكم في الذكر خالده

وكل ذكر خلا أبنائكم فان

May God make you always immortal in remembrance

And every remembrance is devoid of your children so it perishes

به التقى قمرا حسن سما بهما

في المجد والتفَّ غصن البان بالبان

Through it a beautiful moon has met them

In glory and twining branch with branch

يهنيكم آل بيت المصطفى فرحٌ

عمَّ البريَّةِ من قاصٍ ومن دان

Congratulations to you, family of Mustafa, a joy

Which has encompassed the land from every seer and worshipper

فسَرَّكم ما رأيتم والسماع به

سماع هاتف للبشرى بألحان

So your delight in what you have seen and heard of it

Is hearing a herald with tidings and melodies

فقال والقول للداعي مُؤَرِّخُه

سُروركم دامَ في تزويج سلمان

So the speaker said, its chronicler,

May your joy persist in Salman's marriage
