"Ayyalath Hen" (Hebrew: אַיֶּלֶת חֵן, romanized: ʾAyyālaṯ Ḥēn, lit. 'A Graceful Doe') is a Hebrew Jewish piyyut (liturgical poem) written by Rabbi Shalom Shabazi.[1] It is sung by Yemenite Jewish communities to grooms during the Sheva Brachot.
The piyyut is an acrostic, spelling the author's name Al-Shabazi Mashta (Hebrew: אלשבזי משתא).
