هَنِيئا بعُرسٍ سُرورٌ زَهَا

هَنِيئا بعُرسٍ سُرورٌ زَهَا

بَشيرُ تَهانٍ بِخَيرٍ بَها

بَشيرُ تَهانٍ بِخَيرٍ بَها

Congratulations on a wedding—joy has shone.

Congratulations on a wedding, happiness has shone

A herald of congratulations shone with goodness.

Giver of greetings with goodness it overflowed

بِعُرسٍ تَسَامى عَلاَ إذ بدَت

بِعُرسٍ تَسَامى عَلاَ إذ بدَت

تَهانٍ لباشا ندىً يُزدَهَى

تَهانٍ لباشا ندىً يُزدَهَى

At a wedding that rose high and soared, when there appeared

With a wedding towering as a star appeared

congratulations for a pasha, resplendent in bounty.

Greetings to the Pasha, his bounty ever grows

سرُورٌ عَلا قد سمت نَجمَةٌ

سرُورٌ عَلا قد سمت نَجمَةٌ

بخيرِ نَدىً جُودُه بالنُّهَى

بخيرِ نَدىً جُودُه بالنُّهَى

Joy rose; a star has indeed ascended,

Happiness atop ascended a star

with bountiful goodness—his generosity joined to wisdom.

With goodness ever-flowing, his kindness overflows

زهَا إذ بدَت نَجمةُ سَيِّدٍ

زهَا إذ بدَت نَجمةُ سَيِّدٍ

بها يُزدهَي بالنُّهَى واللَّهَا

بها يُزدهَي بالنُّهَى واللَّهَا

He shone when a lord’s star appeared;

Shone as the star of the Master appeared

through it he glories in wisdom and largesse.

With it his bounty and joy ever grows
