هَنيئاً فَإِن الدَهر يَزهو وَيزهر

بعرس علي وَالعَوالم تفخر

Congratulations! For time blossoms and flourishes

With Ali's wedding, and the worlds take pride

بِناء بنى فَوق المَجرة مَنزِلاً

إِلى قَصره بهرام يَرنو وَيَنظر

He built, above the galaxy, a home

To which Bahram aspires, gazing with hope

وَعُرس بِهِ طابَ الوجود كَأَنَّما

عَلى أَنفه مِن طيب نَشرك عَنبر

The being is fragranced by his wedding, as though

Ambergris its nose had perfumed and spread

وَمظهر بُشرى في الوَرى طابَ نَشرها

وَفي طَيها يَبدو السُرور وَينشر

A herald of glad tidings in the world, its diffusion is pure

In its folds, joy and bliss abound and unfurl

مَعالم سَعد طالَ بِالعُرس عَهدها

فَعادَ لَها عُرس جَديد مُكرر

Eras of fortune, with the wedding their span prolonged

So for it, a new and repeated feast returned

فَيا أَحمَد الأَفعال بُشراك لَم تَزل

مَدى الدَهر بِالسَعد الجَديد تبشر

O Ahmad! Your deeds have always brought good news

Through time, of an unprecedented fortune they tell

كَريمة بيت زفها رائد الهَنا

لأكرم بيت بِالفَضائل يذكر

A noble house's bride, led by the guide of delight

To the most virtuous house, renowned for its merits

أَتَت وَهلال اليمن فَوق جَبينها

يَلوح وَعَنها كَوكَب السَعد يظهر

She came, while the crescent of Yemen on her brow

Gleamed, and from it the star of fortune shone clear

فَأَبدَت لَدى الإِقبال وجهاً مورخاً

وَجيهاً بِهِ بَدر السَعادات مسفر

At the ceremony, she revealed a face chronicling

Glory, and through it, the full moon of fortunes beamed
