ويَعجنُ للعِيدِ في مُسعُطٍ

ويَعجنُ للعِيدِ في مُسعُطٍ

دَقيقَ الشَّعيرِ ولا يَنخلُ

And for Eid he kneads in a snuff vessel

He kneads for the feast in a bread bowl

Barley flour, without sifting it.

Barley flour but does not sift

وأنظفُ من وَجهِهِ صَحنُه

وأنظفُ من وَجهِهِ صَحنُه

وأطهرُ مِن خَلقِه المِرجَلُ

وأطهرُ مِن خَلقِه المِرجَلُ

And his dish is cleaner than his face,

And his platter is cleaner than his face

And the cauldron is purer than his body.

And his pot is purer than his manners

ويُنبتُ في أرضِ تَنُّورِه

ويُنبتُ في أرضِ تَنُّورِه

حَشِيشاً لِبرذَونِه يَقصِلُ

حَشِيشاً لِبرذَونِه يَقصِلُ

And on the floor of his oven he grows

And he grows in the land of his oven

Grass, which he cuts for his workhorse.

Grass for his mattress he reaps

ويَستقبلُ الضَّيفَ من فَرسَخٍ

ويَستقبلُ الضَّيفَ من فَرسَخٍ

أيا ضيفُ قُل لي مَتى تَرحَلُ

أيا ضيفُ قُل لي مَتى تَرحَلُ

And he greets the guest from a parasang away:

And he receives the guest from a mile away

O guest, tell me: when will you leave?

Oh guest, tell me when will you depart
