صفر تجلّى مسفرا

عن نجمة في الزاهرات

The dawn revealed itself radiant

From a star among the flowers

طلعت تنير دجنّة

رغم الليالي الحالكات

It rose to illuminate the darkness

Despite the enveloping nights

فأعاد مقدمها السعي

د لأجلها طيب الحياة

So it resumed its quest

For the sake of which life is good

تسلي أباها عن أبيه

فلا عدمتك يا فتاة

Comforting her father about his father

Never be deprived, oh girl

سبحان من أبكى وأضح

ك لاعتراض ولات لات

Glory to Him who cried and smiled

For you without objection or change

ما مر نصف الشهر حتى

قال ربي خذ وهات

Not half a month had passed

When my Lord said "take this and bring"

فكأن روح الجد قد

بعثت بها بعد الممات

It was as if the soul of grandfather

Was revived through her after death

مامية خير البنا

ت وبنت خير الأمهات

Mamia, best of girls

And daughter of the best mothers

وأخي أبوها الخزندا

ري ناطق بالبينات

And my brother, her father, is honest

Articulate with evidence

مذ قال في ميلادها

أرخت لي خير البنات

Since he said at her birth

"The best of daughters came to me"
