يَا أَخَا النُّبْلِ وَالنُّهَى وَالمَعَالي
زَادَكَ اللهُ نِعْمَةً وَعَلاَءَ
O brother of nobility, restraint, and sublime virtues
May God increase you in bounty and distinction
وَأَدَامَ الأعْيَادَ فِي بَيْتِكَ العَا
مِرِ بِالبِرِّ وَالنَّدَى مَا شَاءَ
And perpetuate celebrations in your glorious house
For as long as you live virtuously and graciously
إِنَّ يَوْماً فِيهِ فَتَاتُكَ أَمْسَتْ
وَهِيَ البَدْرُ بَهْجَةً وَبَهَاءَ
For one day your little one has become
The full moon, radiant and splendid
تَمُّه تَمُّها وَغِرُّ لَيَاليهِ س
نُوهَا تَتَابَعَتْ غَرَّاءَ
May it be completed, completed and the nights of her beauty whisper
To each other, pure white
عُدُّهَا أَرْبَعٌ وَعَشْر وَعُمْرُ الحُـ
ـوْرِ هَذَا يُخَلَّدن فِيِهِ صَفَاءَ
Twenty four is her age, and the lifetime of
Purity will be immortalized in her
لَهْوَ اليومُ أَوْجَبَ السعدُ فِيهِ
أَنْ تُعَمَّ المَسْرَّةُ الأَصْدِقَاءَ
The joy of this day has decreed happiness for all
That joy should encompass all dear friends
فَالْتَقّى الأَصْفِياءُ فِيهِ وَمَا
مِثْلُكَ مِمَّن يَسْتَكْثِرُ الأَصْفِياءَ
The loyal ones have gathered on it, and none
Has as many loyal friends as you do
يَشْرَبُونَ الصَّهبَاءَ فَوّارةً
ثَوَّارَةً بُورِكَتْ لَهُمْ صَهْبَاءَ
They drink sparkling wine, abundantly
Flowing, blessèd wine
يَأْكُلُونَ النُّقولَ قَضْماً وَكَدْماً
وَسَلِيقاً مُعلَّلاً وَشَواءَ
They eat fruits and vegetables, bites and morsels
And grilled meat most delicious
يَغْنَمُونَ الحَدِيثَ أَشْهَى مِنَ الشَّهْدِ
وَأذْكَى مِنَ السِّلافِ احْتِسَاءَ
They find conversation sweeter than honey
And more gratifying than the first sip
يَجِدُونَ الأَزْهَارَ بَاهِرَةَ الأَبْصَارِ
نَبْتاً وَأَوْجُهَاً حَسْنَاءَ
They find the flowers most pleasing to behold
Growth and beauty
شَهِدُوا لِلذَّكَاءِ وَالطُّهرِ عِيداً
رَأَوْا النُبْلَ عِفَّة وَذَكَاءَ
They witnessed a feast of intelligence and purity
They saw nobility, chastity and brilliance
نَظَرُوا فِي فَريدَةَ مُجْتَلَى عَلْوَ
إذا الرُّوحُ في التُّرابِ تَرَاءَى
They looked upon the unique elevated grace
When the soul seemed manifest in the dust
صَدَقَتْ مَا عَنَى اسْمُهَا وَقَلِيلٌ
فِي القَوَافِي مَنْ صَدَّقَ الأَسْمَاءَ
Her name has proven true, and few
Names in verse have proven so truthful
