“جمعتوا قلوبنا يا نور العين”

Jama'tu qulubna ya nur al-'ayn

You have united our hearts, oh light of our eyes

The phrase 'نور العين' (nur al-'ayn) literally means 'light of the eye' and is a common Arabic endearment, similar to 'darling' or 'apple of my eye', signifying someone very precious.

“زفة عقيلة وعلاوي الليلة”

Zaffat Aqila w Alawi al-layla

Aqila and Alawi's wedding procession tonight

A 'zaffa' is a traditional Middle Eastern wedding procession, often accompanied by music, dancing, and celebratory cheers, marking the grand entrance of the bride and groom.

“وعلاوي معاها زي القمر في عينيها”

W Alawi ma'aha zay al-qamar fi 'aynayha
