ليهنكَ الزائر الجديدُ

جَرى به الطائر السعيدُ

May the new visitor bring you joy—

The auspicious bird sped him here.

جاء مشوقٌ الى مشوقٍ

فذا ودُودٌ وذا وَدُودُ

One who yearned has come to one who yearned;

This one is loving, and that one loving.

يَومُ نعيمٍ وَيومُ لَهوٍ

خُصِصتَ فيه بما تريدُ

A day of bliss, a day of delight,

In which you are favored with all you desire:

إلفٌ مَشوقٌ أتاهُ إلفٌ

فَمُستَفادٌ وَمُستَفيدُ

A yearning companion, visited by a companion—

One a gain, and the other a gainer.
