1. O Eid, you have not returned with a beloved
To a heart feeling anguished and troubled

2. O Eid, you have returned to one who sees
Deprived of all beauty found in you

3. O loneliness of a house whose Lord
Has dawned wearing grieving robes

4. Eid has dawned upon its people
With a face lacking beauty or grace

5. What business have I with time and its events
It has truly afflicted me with wonders
