وَفَاءً كَهَذَا العَهْدِ فَلْيَكُنِ الْعَهْدُ
وَعَدْلاً كَهَذَا العِقْدِ فَلْيَكُنِ العِقْدُ
With loyalty like this covenant, so let the covenant be,
With justice like this contract, so let the contract be,
قَرَانُكُمَا مَا شَاءَهُ لَكُمَا الْهَوَى
وَبَيْتُكُمَا مَا شَادَهُ لَكُمَا السَّعْدُ
Your marriage is what desire has willed for you,
And your home is what fortune has built for you,
فَقُرَّا وَطِيبا فَالْمُنَى مَا رَضَيْتُمَا
وَدَهْرُكُمَا صَفْوٌ وَعَيْشُكُمَا رَغْدُ
So reside happily, for contentment is what you have chosen,
And your life is serene, and your living pleasant,
وَمَا جَمَعَ اللهُ النَّظِيرَيْنِ مَرَّةً
كَجَمْعِكُمَا وَالنَّدُّ أَوْلَى بِهِ النَّدُّ
Never once has God united two peers,
As He has united you - and rivalry befits the peer.
تَضَاهَيْتُمَا قَدْراً وَحُسْناً وَشِيْمَةً
كَمَا يَتَضَاهَى فِي تَقَابُلِهِ الْوَرْدُ
You are matched in worth, beauty and character,
As two roses match, when face to face.
أَعَزُّ أَعِزَّاءِ الحِمَى أَبَواكُمَا
وَأَسْطَعُ جَدٍّ فِي العُلَى لَكُمَا جَد
The proudest of the protected clan, your fathers,
And the brightest ancestor on high for you, your grandfather.
