1. النورُ منكِ وأنتِ النورُ والأمـلُ

    بُشراكِ يا حُلُماً بالطيبِ نكتحِلُ

    Light comes from you, and you are the light and hope.

    Your glad tidings, O dream—with fragrance we line our eyes.

  2. يسري بنا ولمسرى الروح تُبهجُني

    وأنتِ كرمتُنا في الحب تكتملُ

    It courses through us, and for the soul’s journey you gladden me.

    And you are our vine, reaching fullness in love.

  3. تعلَّقَتْ في هوى الأحباب يجمعُنا

    سحرٌ بهاءُ السنا في العين , والكحلُ

    It clung to the love of dear ones that unites us.

    The splendor of radiance in the eye, and the kohl, are magic.

  4. ودمتِ شوقاً , ببهاء الروح يا أمَلاً

    يسري بدنيا سماء العـزِّ تنهمِلُ

    And may you remain a longing, with the soul’s splendor, O hope,

    That courses through a world where the sky of glory pours down.

  5. أسْرَجتُ عُـمري شذاً في الروح ترفدُها

    عطراً ووشْماً لنا في العـمْر تَخْتَضِلُ

    I kindled my life as fragrance within the soul; you sustain it

    With perfume and a tattoo for us through life—you grow dewy.
