مجاب قَد دَعا وَالانس عيد

مجاب قَد دَعا وَالانس عيد

وَأَروى القَلبَ بِالنيل الجَديد

وَأَروى القَلبَ بِالنيل الجَديد

Mujab has called, and fellowship is a festival;

The caller to prayer has called, and people celebrate Eid,

And quenched the heart with the renewed Nile.

My heart is sated with the new Nile,

وَقَد راقَت شُمولُ اليَومَ حَتّى

وَقَد راقَت شُمولُ اليَومَ حَتّى

شَممنا العود في كف الفَريد

شَممنا العود في كف الفَريد

And the wine was so delightful today that

The fragrance of this day intoxicates us,

We smelled aloeswood in the peerless one's palm.

We smell incense in the palm of the young man.

طَرِبنا بِالزُهورِ وَبِالنَدامى

طَرِبنا بِالزُهورِ وَبِالنَدامى

وَجاوَزنا السَعيدَ بِأَلف عيد

وَجاوَزنا السَعيدَ بِأَلف عيد

We rejoiced in the flowers and the drinking companions,

We rejoice at the flowers and the dew,

And surpassed the fortunate one by a thousand festivals.

We surpass the happy one by a thousand Eids,

يُعادُ مَع المَسَرَّة كُل حين

يُعادُ مَع المَسَرَّة كُل حين

وَداعى الاِنس في عَيشِ رَغيد

وَداعى الاِنس في عَيشِ رَغيد

It is repeated with gladness at every turn,

Every time joy returns with celebration,

And the caller to fellowship lives in ease.

The caller to intimacy lives in blissful life.

وَاِن لامَ الخَلاة اِذا طَرِبنا

وَاِن لامَ الخَلاة اِذا طَرِبنا

فَقُل لَهُم غَلَطتم في الشُهود

فَقُل لَهُم غَلَطتم في الشُهود

And if those untouched by love blame us when we rejoice,

If the critics blame us when we rejoice,

Then tell them, 'You were mistaken in what you witnessed.'

Tell them: "You have erred in your witnessing."

وَغادَرَهُم بِغَفلَتِهِم وَحي

وَغادَرَهُم بِغَفلَتِهِم وَحي

لِمَجلِسِنا عَلى رَغم العَتيد

لِمَجلِسِنا عَلى رَغم العَتيد

And leave them to their heedlessness, and come

And they left our gathering in their neglect,

To our gathering, in defiance of the ever-ready one.

Despite the enemies, to our defiance.

اِلى مَ يَلومَني فيها رَقبي

اِلى مَ يَلومَني فيها رَقبي

وَأَمسى قائِلا هَم مِن مَزيد

وَأَمسى قائِلا هَم مِن مَزيد

How long will my watcher blame me for her?

To those who blame me for it,

And by evening he was saying, '[Is there] more?'

I say: "This is but an increase in love."

يُكلِّفُني العَذول بِضد قَصدي

يُكلِّفُني العَذول بِضد قَصدي

وَمالي عَن هَواها مِن مُحيد

وَمالي عَن هَواها مِن مُحيد

The reproacher demands of me the opposite of my intent,

They charge me with rejecting their desire,

And I have no escape from loving her.

While I cannot deviate from my passion.

وَلَيسَ عَلَيهِ وَزر في وَلَوعى

وَلَيسَ عَلَيهِ وَزر في وَلَوعى

وَما المَولى بِظَلّامٍ لِلعَبيد

وَما المَولى بِظَلّامٍ لِلعَبيد

And he bears no sin for my infatuation,

He bears no guilt for my torment,

And the Lord is not unjust to His servants.

For the Lord is not unjust to His servants.
