يا لَيلة الأَفراح بَدرُكِ زاهي
وَالأُنس فيكِ منادمٌ لِلجاهِ
O night of joys, your full moon is radiant
And the companionship in you is a gathering for the eminent
حَيث الأَمير أَبو السَعادة زَيوَرٌ
أَضحى بِهِ فيكِ الوِصال يُباهي
Where Amir Abu Al-Sa'ada Zaywar
Has become with you boasting of the union
وَلَهُ أَضاءَت في السُرور كَواكب
بِصَفائِها أَربَت عَلى الأَشباه
And for him the stars in happiness shone
With their purity they excelled over the peers
وَصفا الزَمان لَهُ فَها هُو آمر
بِالعُرف فيهِ كَما يَشاء وَناهي
The time has described him as a commander
With etiquette in it as he wills and prohibits
وَالسَعد أَنشَد في الزَفاف مؤرِّخاً
زفت لِزيورَ شَمسُ حسن باهي
And Sa'd recited at the wedding dating
The sun of beautiful splendor was brought to Zaywar
