لوْ قِيلَ كَيْفَ تَتَم غانِيَةٌ

أَشَرْتُ إِلى أَلِيسْ

If asked, how does a song end?

I point to Alyss.

هَل فِي الْغَوَانِي مِثْلُ هَذَا

الحُسْنِ والطَّبعِ الأَنِيسْ

Is there in songs one with such

Beauty and gentle nature?

يَا بِنْتَ يُوسفَ جَلَّ مَنْ

أَعْطاكِ مَا يَسْبِي النُّفوسْ

O daughter of Joseph! Exalted is He

Who granted you what captures souls.

عَنْ نَبْعَتيْكِ صَدَرْتِ بِال

أَخْلاَقِ وَالأَدَبِ النَّفيسْ

From your spring have emanated with no

Flaws, etiquette and refinement.

أَعَفِيفُ يَا زَيْنَ الشَّبابِ

وَبهْجَةَ الزَّمَنِ العَبُوسْ

Virtuous O beauty of youth!

And delight of gloomy time.

افْرَحْ وَطِبْ وَاهْنَأْ

فكَأْسكَ فِي الهَوَى أَصْفَى الكُؤُوسْ

Rejoice, be well and enjoy,

For your cup in love is the purest of cups.

دُمْ يَا عَروسُ كَمَا تُحِبُ

وَأَنْتِ دُومِي يَا عَرُوسْ

Stay forever my bride as you wish,

And you forever my bride.
