جَمَالِيَ فَوْقَ مَا تَهْوَى النُّفُوسُ

جَمَالِيَ فَوْقَ مَا تَهْوَى النُّفُوسُ

وَوَصْفِيَ قَدْ تَضِيقُ بِهِ الطُّرُوسُ

وَوَصْفِيَ قَدْ تَضِيقُ بِهِ الطُّرُوسُ

My beauty surpasses what souls desire.

My beauty is beyond what souls desire

My beauty surpasses what souls desire,

And pages may be too narrow to contain my description.

And my description is too narrow for elegance

And parchments may be too narrow for my description.

ضِيَاءُ السَّعْدِ يَسْطَعُ فِي بُيُوتٍ

ضِيَاءُ السَّعْدِ يَسْطَعُ فِي بُيُوتٍ

بِهَا مِنْ حُسْنِ خَوْخَاتِي شُمُوسُ

بِهَا مِنْ حُسْنِ خَوْخَاتِي شُمُوسُ

The radiance of good fortune shines in houses

The light of happiness radiates in homes

The light of good fortune radiates in houses

Where suns arise from the beauty of my small windows.

In them, from the beauty of my cheeks, are suns

Within which are suns from the beauty of my portals.

إذَا دَارٌ كَسَوْتُ لَهَا جِدَاراً

إذَا دَارٌ كَسَوْتُ لَهَا جِدَاراً

تَطَايَرَ مِنْ مَبَانِيهَا النُّحُوسُ

تَطَايَرَ مِنْ مَبَانِيهَا النُّحُوسُ

Whenever I clothe a house's wall,

If I built a wall for a house

Whenever I clothe a wall for a house,

Misfortunes fly away from its buildings,

Evil would fly from its buildings

Ill omens scatter away from its structures,

وَتَبْتَسِمُ السُّعُودُ لِسَاكِنَيهَا

وَتَبْتَسِمُ السُّعُودُ لِسَاكِنَيهَا

كَمَا ابْتَسَمَتْ لِمَنْ تَهْوَى عَرُوسُ

كَمَا ابْتَسَمَتْ لِمَنْ تَهْوَى عَرُوسُ

And good fortune smiles upon its two inhabitants,

And good fortune smiles on its inhabitants

And good fortunes smile upon its dwellers,

As a bride smiles upon the one she loves.

As a bride smiles for whom she loves

Just as a bride smiles at the one she loves.
