1. مِن سَرَّهُ العيدُ فَما سَرَّني

    بَل زادَ في هَمّي وَأشجاني

    Whoever Eid has gladdened, it has not gladdened me;

    Rather, it added to my worry and my sorrows,

  2. لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَّرَني ما مَضى مِن

    عَهدِ أَحبابي وَإِخواني

    For it reminded me of what has passed:

    The days of my loved ones and my brothers.
