فِي فِتْيَةِ الجِيلِ كَانَ خَيْرُهُمُ

كُفُؤاً لِخَيْرِ البَنَاتِ فِي الجِيلِ

Among the finest of the generation's youth

Was one well-matched to the best of the generation's girls

فَيَا بَشِيراً بِيَوْمِ سَعْدِهِمَا

أَرِّخْ غَدَتْ رِينُ زَوَجَ جَبْرِيلِ

So messenger, herald the day of their happiness

Date it as the day Gabriel's daughter was wed
