They said tomorrow is Eid, what will you wear?

قالوا غدا العيد ماذا أنت لابسه

1. They said tomorrow is Eid, what will you wear?
I said the robe of a slave who took a sip

١. قالوا غدا العيد ماذا أنت لابسه
فقلت خلعة ساق عبده جرعا

2. Poverty and patience are my clothes underneath them
A heart that sees its Lord on holidays and gatherings

٢. فقر وصبر هما ثوباتي تحتهما
قلب يرى ربه الأعياد والجمعا

3. It is best to meet the Beloved in the clothes
In which He divested you, on the day of visitation

٣. أحرى الملابس أن تلقى الحبيب بها
يوم التزاور في الثوب الذي خلعا

4. Time for me is bereavement if you are absent, O my hope
And celebration, as long as you are in my sight and hearing

٤. الدهر لي مأتم إن غبت يا أملي
والعيد ما دمت لي مرأى ومستمعا
