وَصَلَتْ مُقدِّمَةٌ لهَا غُرَرُ المَعَا

وَصَلَتْ مُقدِّمَةٌ لهَا غُرَرُ المَعَا

ني الزَّاهِراتِ البَاهِرَاتِ نِتَاجُ

ني الزَّاهِراتِ البَاهِرَاتِ نِتَاجُ

An introduction has arrived, whose choicest meanings

A prelude has arrived, bearing the blossoms of meaning,

Are radiant, dazzling offspring.

The finest and most radiant flowers, your bounty's yield.

كالرَّوضَةِ الغنَّاءِ ضَاحَكَ زَهْرَهَا

كالرَّوضَةِ الغنَّاءِ ضَاحَكَ زَهْرَهَا

مِن جُودِ كَفِّكَ عَارِضٌ ثَجَّاجُ

مِن جُودِ كَفِّكَ عَارِضٌ ثَجَّاجُ

Like a lush garden, whose blossoms were smiled upon

Like a garden singing with joy, its flowers laughing,

By a cloud pouring copiously from your hand’s bounty.

With your open hand, a flashing adornment revealed.

حَلَّتْ بِنادِي الصَّاحِبِ ابنِ مُحمَّدٍ

حَلَّتْ بِنادِي الصَّاحِبِ ابنِ مُحمَّدٍ

فَهْيَ العَرُوسُ ومَنْ جَلاهَا التَّاجُ

فَهْيَ العَرُوسُ ومَنْ جَلاهَا التَّاجُ

She settled in the assembly of al-Sahib ibn Muhammad;

It has come to the companion's place, the son of Mohammed,

So she is the bride, and the one who unveiled her is al-Taj—the Crown.

She is the bride, and you are the crown upon her head.

بَهَرَتْ أَشِعَتُها فَلا شَمْسُ الضُّحَى

بَهَرَتْ أَشِعَتُها فَلا شَمْسُ الضُّحَى

شَمْسُ الضُّحاءِ ولا السِّراجُ سِرَاجُ

شَمْسُ الضُّحاءِ ولا السِّراجُ سِرَاجُ

Her rays have dazzled, so the forenoon sun is not

Her rays dazzle, brighter than the daylight sun,

The forenoon sun, nor is al-Siraj—the Lamp—a lamp.

Brighter than the sun of morning, or any lamp's spread.
