lyrics

Ahel Allel
(Trad./ A. Kheir)

O people of the night
O blessings and beauty
Today our good fortune has come
O messenger of God

O good fortune, O white dove
O angels sing with me
Today our good fortune has come
O messenger of God

The day the girls gathere
They clapped their hands and ululated
Today our good fortune has come
O messenger of God

They clapped their hands and ululated
And sang 'our groom scored'
Today our good fortune has come
O messenger of God

O people of the night
O blessings and beauty
Today our good fortune has come
O messenger of God
