أَمينَتي في عامِها

الأَوَّلِ مِثلُ المَلَكِ

My little one in her first year

Is like an angel, good and dear

صالِحَةٌ لِلحُبِّ مِن

كُلٍّ وَلِلتَبَرُّكِ

For love and blessing, it is clear

How my heart flutters without fear

كَم خَفَقَ القَلبُ لَها

عِندَ البُكا وَالضَحِكِ

When she laughs and sheds a tear

How my eyes always hold her near

وَكَم رَعَتها العَينُ في

السُكونِ وَالتَحَرُّكِ

In stillness and in motion, she is ever so dear

When she walks, my spirit stays near

فَإِن مَشَت فَخاطِري

يَسبِقُها كَالمُمسِكِ

I watch her as if she were

A part of my vision, ever so clear

أَلحَظُها كَأَنَّها

مِن بَصَري في شَرَكِ

Oh brow of blessing for me

Oh eyes of heaven for me to see

فَيا جَبينَ السَعدِ لي

وَيا عُيونَ الفَلَكِ

Oh light of life in days that flee

The nights attack relentlessly

وَيا بَياضَ العَيشِ في ال

أَيّامِ ذاتِ الحَلَكِ

If judged fairly, you would surely be

A princess, little one for me

إِنَّ اللَيالي وَهيَ لا

تَنفَكُّ حَربَ أَهلِكِ

لَو أَنصَفَتكِ طِفلَةً

لَكُنتِ بِنتَ المَلِكِ
