هذا قِرانُ حُسينٍ قد كتبتُ لهَ

تاريخَ عامِ قِرانِ الشَّمسِ والقَمرِ

تاريخَ عامِ قِرانِ الشَّمسِ والقَمرِ

This is Husayn’s wedding; I have written for it

This is Hussein's Quran which I wrote for him

a chronogram for the year of the sun and moon’s conjunction.

The date of the year of the sun and the moon

ظَفِرتَ بالحُسنِ والحُسنَى على قدَرٍ

ظَفِرتَ بالحُسنِ والحُسنَى على قدَرٍ

فلا بَرِحتَ مدَى التَّأريخِ في ظَفَرِ

فلا بَرِحتَ مدَى التَّأريخِ في ظَفَرِ

You have won beauty and goodness, as fate decreed;

You attained beauty and prosperity as was destined

so may you remain triumphant throughout the span of history.

So you have not ceased being victorious throughout history
