بِنتُ الخَلِيفَةِ وَالخَلِيفَةُ جَدُّها

أُختُ الخَلِيفَةِ والخَلِيفَةُ بَعلُهَا

The caliph's daughter, and the caliph her grandsire

The caliph's sister, and the caliph her spouse

فَرِحَت قَوَابِلُها بِهَا وتَبَاشَرَت

وَكَذاكَ كانوا في المسرَّةِ أَهلُهَا

Her midwives rejoiced at her birth and exchanged congratulations

And so it was, her family was filled with joy
