May the blessings which flow in all weddings
be gathered, God, together in our wedding!
The blessings of the Night of Power,
the
month of fasting
the
festival to break the fast
the blessings of the meeting of Adam and Eve
the blessings of the meeting of Joseph and Jacob
the blessings of gazing on the paradise of all abodes
and yet another blessing which cannot be put in words:
the
fruitful scattering of joy
of
the children of the Shayak
and
our eldest!
In companionship and happiness
may
you be like milk and honey
in union and fidelity,
just
like sugar and halva.
May the blessings of those who toast
and
the one who pours the wine
anoint the ones who said Amen and
the
one who said the prayer.
Translation by Franklin D. Lewis
