نِينَتُ حَظُّكِ فِي الحَيَاةِ جَمِيلُ

فَتَهَنَإِي وَلْيَهنَأَنَّ جَمِيلُ

Your fortune in life is beautiful,

So rejoice and let the beautiful rejoice,

وَتَكَاثَرَاً نُعماً فَفِيما نَشْتَهِي

لَكُما كَثيرُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ قَلِيلُ

And in our desire for abundant bounty,

There is plenty of goodness and little evil.

وَقْرُ الحَيَاةِ بِالاشْتِرَاكِ مَخَفَّفٌ

وَبِالانْفِرَادِ بَظَلَّ وَهْوَ ثَقِيلُ

The burden of life shared

Is lightened, but alone it is heavy and gloomy.

نِعْمَ القَرَانُ وَحُبَّ فِي شَرْخِ الصِّبَا

مُتَلاَقِيَانِ حَلِيلَةٌ وَحَلِيلُ

How excellent is the Quran and love in the prime of youth,

Two harmonious friends.

زَوْجَانِ بُورِكَ فِيهِمَا وَعَلَيْهِمَا

كَفُؤَانِ فَلْيَسْعِدْهُمَا الإِكْلِيلُ

A blessed couple upon whom

Goodness has been bestowed. May the wreath crown their union.

هَذِي عَرُوسٌ أُوتِيَتْ مِنْ ربِّهَا

فَضْلاً لَهُ مِنْهَا بِهَا تَكْمِيلُ

Distinction - through it she is perfected.

She is like the rays in the rising of her star,

هِيَ كَالأَشِعَّةِ فِي تَنَائِي نَجْمِهَا

ولَهَا إِلى كُلِّ القُلُوبِ سَبِيلُ

And she has access to all hearts.

Speak without inhibition of the dream

حَدِّثْ وَلاَ حَرَجٌ عَنِ الحُلمِ الَّذِي

قَدْ زَانَهُ المَعْقُولُ وَالمَنْقُولُ

That reason and tradition have adorned.

From a father who is a learned man,

مِمَّا تَلَقَّتْ عَنْ أَبٍ هُوَ عَالِمٌ

عِلْمٍ يُحَقُّ لِقَدْرِهِ التَّبْجِيلُ

Whose knowledge deserves veneration.

As for Jameel, he seeks high ideals,

أَمَّا جَمِيلُ فهْوَ مَا تَبْغِي العُلَى

لَبِقٌ عِصَامِيُّ المَضَاءِ نَبِيلُ

Refined, brilliant, noble.

In glory, his ancestors shone before him,

فِي المَجْدِ أَثَلَ مُنْجِبُوهُ قَبْلَهُ

ولَهُ الغَداةُ كَما لَهُمْ تَأْثِيلُ

And the future glorifies them equally.

He eschews the insignificant ambitions

يَدعُ اليَسِيرَ مِنَ المُرَامِ تَنَزُّهاً

أَو يَطْلُبُ المَطْلُوبَ وَهْوَ جَلِيلُ

Or seeks only the lofty goals.

My sons, live and enjoy the bounty,

يَا ابْنَيَّ عِيشَا وَاغْنَمَا فِي نَعْمَةٍ

عُمْراً بِهِ سَبَبُ الرِّضَى مَوْصُولُ

A lifetime where contentment abounds.

Honor is plentiful, life enduring,

العِزُّ ضَافِي وَالحَيَاةُ مَدِيدَةٌ

وَالبَيتُ بِالنَّسْلِ الكَرِيمِ حَفِيلُ

And home filled with esteemed children.
