I have an invitation for you, O my dear friends,

In it lie your joy in serenity and my own happiness.

An invitation wherein I congratulate you with joy and delight-

نَجلى حُسَينَ يَستَتِم قِرانُهُ

نَجلى حُسَينَ يَستَتِم قِرانُهُ

في لَيلَةِ الإِثنَينِ هَذي الآتيهِ

My son Hussein's marriage will be solemnized

To celebrate Hussein completing the Quran

On this coming Monday night.

On Monday night that is soon to come-

فَتَجَمَّلوا وَعَلى السَعادَةِ تَفَضَّلوا

فَتَجَمَّلوا وَعَلى السَعادَةِ تَفَضَّلوا

لِتَتِمَّ لي بِوُجودِكُم آماليهِ

لِتَتِمَّ لي بِوُجودِكُم آماليهِ

So be gracious, and kindly join in the joy,

So adorn yourselves and kindly grace me with your presence,

So that, through your presence, my hopes may be fulfilled.

That with you all my hopes may be fulfilled.
