Blessed is He who gifted us with Hanna, a youth

Upon whom radiance and beauty have cast their garments

Sheltered by the shade of his tenderness is a bough

So we thought him the one shaded by the cloud.

له في خده الورديِّ خالٌ

تفديه الحسان بألف شامه

He has a mole upon his rosy cheek,

On his rosy cheek there lies a beauty mark

The beautiful women would ransom him with a thousand beauty spots.

A thousand Damascene roses would ransom it

فقل لمؤرخيه يوم حظ

بيوسف صاحبت حنا السلامه

بيوسف صاحبت حنا السلامه
