سَيدي مَحمود صَبري

سَيدي مَحمود صَبري

قَد أَتى عيد بِنَحر

قَد أَتى عيد بِنَحر

My lord, Mahmoud Sabri—

My master, Mahmoud Sabri,

the Feast has come, bearing sacrifice;

A feast has indeed come with sacrifice,

وَلِسان الأُنس نادى

وَلِسان الأُنس نادى

حينَ وافى كُل بَشَر

حينَ وافى كُل بَشَر

and the voice of fellowship called out,

And the tongue of joy called out

as it reached every mortal,

When it reached every mortal,

قائِلاً أَرخت يَزهو

قائِلاً أَرخت يَزهو

عيدنا الأَضحى بِصَبري

عيدنا الأَضحى بِصَبري

saying—I set its chronogram—“It shines:

Saying—I composed this chronogram—“Resplendent is

our Eid al-Adha, with Sabri.”

our Eid al-Adha with Sabri.”
