وَاِختَفَقَت أَلوِيَةُ السُكرِ
Fasting has indeed saluted the breaking of the fast,
Fasting has bid farewell to the feast
The Fast has handed the reins to the Feast,
And the banners of drunkenness have fluttered.
And the banners of sugar have collapsed
And the banners of intoxication are unfurled.

And revelry has trailed the skirts of youth
The new moon has retracted its tail
Revelry trails the sweeping robes of youth,
In the host of lutes and piping.
In the camp of Eid, festivity and cheer
Amidst an army of lutes and piping flutes.

And union and its partisans have gained the power
Reunion has taken hold with its followers
Union and its allies have seized control,
To exact retribution on separation and estrangement.
From the exile of separation and estrangement
Exacting vengeance on distance and neglect.

فَلَيسَ يُلفى غَيرَ مُستَبشِرٍ

لِعِلَّةِ الصَومِ إِلى الشُكرِ
So none is found but rejoicing,
None can be found except one rejoicing
Now you will find none but the jubilant,
At fasting’s affliction, [turning] toward gratitude.
For the reason of fasting to gratitude
Turning the burden of the Fast into gratitude.
