    فِي وِدِّهِّ لَكُمُ المَكَانُ العَالِي

    O family of Barnouti, greetings from a friend

    in whose affection you hold an exalted place.

    زَيْنَ الشَّبَابِ النَّادِرِ الأْمثَالِ

    I congratulate your beloved on his marriage,

    the adornment of youth, whose equals are rare.

  3. وابْشِرِ البِكْرَ الَّتِي صَارَتْ لَهُ

    أَهْلاً بِعَيْشِ رَفَاهَةٍ وَكَمَالِ

    And I bring glad tidings to the maiden who has become his

    wife, of a life of ease and fulfillment.

    حِسّاً وَمَعْنىً فِي مِثَالِ جَمَالِ

    A beauty in whom the two ancestral stems appear,

    in body and spirit, as a paragon of beauty.

  5. فَلْيَسْعَدَا وَلْيَنْجُبَا وَلْيَغْنَمَا

    نِعَمَ الوُجُودِ مَدَى سِنِينَ طِوَالِ

    So may they both be happy, have children, and reap

    the blessings of existence through long years.
