قد أصبحَ الدهرُ يجلو منظراً حسنا

قد أصبحَ الدهرُ يجلو منظراً حسنا

من ليلةٍ طوقتْ جيدَ العُلى مننا

من ليلةٍ طوقتْ جيدَ العُلى مننا

Time now unveils a beautiful sight,

The days are turning auspicious and fair

From a night that garlanded glory's neck with blessings.

Since the night adorned the brow of glory with a crown.

إلى كريمكَ قد زفَّتْ كريمتُه

إلى كريمكَ قد زفَّتْ كريمتُه

فزفَّت الدهرَ والإِقبالَ واليمنا

فزفَّت الدهرَ والإِقبالَ واليمنا

To your noble son his noble daughter has come as a bride,

To your generous self its generous maiden is led -

Bringing Time, prosperity, and good fortune in her bridal train.

So Time and Luck and Blessing are her dower.

لقد غدتْ بهم الزوراء لابسةً

لقد غدتْ بهم الزوراء لابسةً

ثوباً من الزهو فيه فاخرتْ عدنا

ثوباً من الزهو فيه فاخرتْ عدنا

Indeed, through them al-Zawra has come to wear

Through you Zorah is clad in robes of joy,

A robe of pride in which she vied with Eden.

Proudly flaunting Aden in its festive gown.

يا بن الذين يبارون الصَبا كرماً

يا بن الذين يبارون الصَبا كرماً

والروضَ خلقاً وأطراف القنا لسنا

والروضَ خلقاً وأطراف القنا لسنا

O son of those who rival the east wind in generosity,

O scion of sires who vied in bounty's race,

And gardens in character, and spear-tips in eloquence.

In nature's making and wild honey's taste.
