1. It is a day of doubt for me
Its evil has long been feared

2. The air is clad in gray
A roof with drizzling eaves

3. The rain is silvery white
And the earth's tongue is green

4. Growth sends up its blossoms
In the earth, drops of dew flow down

5. And he who sights the new moon
If he sees this day in Ramadan, has broken his fast

6. And for us there are merits
That will be our appointed provision for the day

7. And a yellow wine whose age
Outlasted Chosroes and Caesar

8. So hurry to our cellars for us
And draw out the largest casks there are

9. Or else you are an ignoramus
If you say "You will be excused."
