1. فرحَ الناسُ أن تَهيَّأ في الفِطْ

    رِ لهم بالنهارِ أكلُ الطعامِ

    The people rejoiced that, at Eid al-Fitr, it became possible

    for them to eat food by day.

  2. ورأينا الإمامَ يفرحُ في الفط

    رِ بعاداته من الإطعامِ

    And we saw the imam rejoice at Eid al-Fitr

    in his customary acts of feeding others.

  3. أيَّدَ اللَّهُ مُلكَهُ ورعاهُ

    وسقاهُ وحاطهُ من إمامِ

    May God strengthen his rule and watch over him,

    and give him drink and protect him—what an imam!

  4. فهو المُرتجَى لأن يعْضُد اللَّ

    هُ به ما وهي من الإسلامِ

    For he is the one in whom hope is placed, that God

    may, through him, strengthen what has grown weak in Islam.
