أَلا يا ناصِر الدين المرجّى

أَلا يا ناصِر الدين المرجّى

لِكُلِّ عَظيمَة وَلِكُلِّ جود

لِكُلِّ عَظيمَة وَلِكُلِّ جود

Ah, O Nasir al-Din, in whom hope is placed

O supporter of the hoped-for religion

for every great undertaking and every act of generosity!

For every great one and for every generosity

نَذَرتُ الصَومَ دَهري يَومَ تأتي

نَذَرتُ الصَومَ دَهري يَومَ تأتي

صَحيحَ الجِسمِ لِلَّه الحَميدِ

صَحيحَ الجِسمِ لِلَّه الحَميدِ

I vowed to fast all my life, should you come,

I have vowed to fast for as long as I live on the day you come

sound in body, for God, the Praiseworthy.

With a healthy body, for God the Praiseworthy

وانّي إِن رأَيتُكَ حَلَّ نَذري

وانّي إِن رأَيتُكَ حَلَّ نَذري

وحقَّ الصَومُ لِلَّهِ المَجيدِ

وحقَّ الصَومُ لِلَّهِ المَجيدِ

And indeed, if I see you, my vow falls due,

And truly if I see that you have fulfilled my vow

and fasting is owed to God, the Glorious.

And the fasting is a right for God the Glorious

وَأَعجبُ ما يقالُ وجوبُ صَوم

وَأَعجبُ ما يقالُ وجوبُ صَوم

عَليَّ وَقَد رأَيت هِلالَ عيدِ

عَليَّ وَقَد رأَيت هِلالَ عيدِ

And the strangest thing said is that fasting is obligatory

And the strangest thing said is the obligation of fasting

upon me, though I have seen the crescent of Eid.

Upon me when I have seen the crescent of Eid

فَدم واسلَم عَلى رغم الحَسود

فَدم واسلَم عَلى رغم الحَسود

وَعِش ما شِئتَ في العَيشِ الرَغيدِ

وَعِش ما شِئتَ في العَيشِ الرَغيدِ

So live on and stay well, despite the envier,

So go ahead and make peace despite the envious

and live as long as you wish in a life of ease.

And live as long as you wish in the soft life
