Claude 2

  1. وَحُبِّكَ يَا سَيِّدَتِي أَمِينَهْ

    جَاءَ مِنَ الهُدَى بِمَا تَبْغِينَهْ

    And your love, my lady faithful

    Came with guidance shedding what you wish

  2. فِي مَثَلٍ حَيٍّ تُخَلِّدِينَهْ

    يُثِيرُ شَجوَ الأَنْفُسِ الرَّزِينَهْ

    In a living example making you immortal

    Stirring the sorrow of depressed souls

  3. وَيَسْتَدِرُّ الأَدْمُعَ السَّخِينَهْ

    كَانَتْ برنتي أُسْرَةً مِسْكِينَهْ

    And making tears flow profusely

    Berenti was once a poor family

  4. مَجِيدَةً مُرْهَقَةً حَزِينَهْ

    أَخْلاقُهَا قَوِيمةٌ مَكِينَهْ

    Glorious, exhausted, sad

    Of upright, steadfast morals

  5. لَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَعْرِفِ السَّكِينَهْ

    ولا رِضاً كَانَتْ بِهِ قَمِينَهْ

    But she did not know peace

    Nor contentment she was intimate with

  6. نبُوغُهَا كَمَا تُصَوِّرِينَهْ

    شَذَّ بِهَا فَحَطَّم السَّفِينَهْ

    Her brilliance as you picturize it

    Took her far, wrecking the ship

  7. وَصَفْتِهَا صَادِقَةً أَمِينَهْ

    فِي قِصَّةٍ مُحْكَمَةٍ رَصِينَهْ

    You described her truthfully, faithfully

    In a solid, coherent story

  8. لغَتُهَا فَصِيحَةٌ مُبِينَهْ

    حِكْمَتُهَا وَاعِظَةٌ مَتِينَهْ

    Her language eloquent, clear

    Her wisdom sound, robust

  9. وَتِلْكَ يَا سَيِّدَتِي أَمِينَهْ

    مَأْثَرَةٌ جدِيدَةٌ ثَمِينَهْ

    And that, my lady faithful

    Is a precious, new achievement

  10. مِمَّا عَلَى الأَيَّامِ تَبْذُلِينَهْ

    لِمِصْرَ مِنْ جُهْدٍ فَمَا تَأْلِينَهْ

    Of what you spend on days

    Of Egypt from an effort you do not tire of

  11. وَفَخْرُ مِصْرَ أَنَّهَا مَدِينَهْ

    بِمَا تَقُولِينَ وَتَفْعَلِينَهْ

    And Egypt's pride that she is a city

    Of what you say and do

  12. وَتُبْدِعِينَه وَتَنْقُلِينَهْ

    لِمُرْتَقَى جِيلٍ تُجَدِّدِينَهْ

    And innovate and convey

    To an ascending generation you renew

  13. بَيَّنْت لِلْقَرْية وَالمَدِينَهْ

    مَا بِهِمَا من قدره كَمِينَهْ

    You explained to village and town

    What latent treasure in them lies

  14. إِنْ جُلِيتْ كُنُوزُهَا الدَّفِينَهْ

    لَيْسَ النِّسَاءُ صُوَراً لِلزِّينَهْ

    If their hidden wealth surfaces

    Women are not just forms of decoration

  15. هُنَّ القُوَى المُسْعِفَةُ المُعِينَهْ

    مَا أَنْجَحَ الشَّأْنَ الَّذِي يلِينَهْ

    They are the helping, assisting forces

    How successful is the matter put in their care

  16. مَا أَصْلَحَ النَّشْءَ الَّذِي يَبنِينَهْ

    أَحْسَنْتِ يَا سَيِّدَتِي أَمِينَهْ

    How reformed the youth they raise

    You have done well, my lady faithful
