1. Fasting has come with delighted eyes
Bringing honor to those visited by its guests

2. And Eid longs with desire to see it
If only fasting could be but one day, that's enough

3. This minister, whose majesty is great
Stand before him as if secluded in Kaaba

4. And tell him you lived years numbering Ramadan's
Hours wrapped in glorious splendor

5. Give Beirut the good news, for she has attained
What she had longed for before

6. After so much patience until relief came
For everything has its appointed time

7. He gave Damascus a share of his stay
And likewise for Beirut sought fairness

8. Like the sun dividing time between earth
Never abandoning one side to favor another

9. For us Eid has come before Eid, gladdening
Souls whose joy is pure

10. This - its delight lasts days for us
While that passed in a day and was gone
