العيدُ يومٌ يسرُّ الناس مقْدمُه

العيدُ يومٌ يسرُّ الناس مقْدمُه

وفضلُ يومٍ واِنْ أرضاكَ محدود

وفضلُ يومٍ واِنْ أرضاكَ محدود

The festival is a day whose arrival delights the people;

The feast is a day that brings joy to people upon its arrival

Yet a day's bounty, though it pleases you, is limited.

Though the virtue of a day pleases you however limited

وكلُّ يومٍ بفخر الدين مُقْترنٌ

وكلُّ يومٍ بفخر الدين مُقْترنٌ

فمنه للملتجي والمُعْتفي عيدُ

فمنه للملتجي والمُعْتفي عيدُ

And every day is linked with Fakhr al-Din;

And every day is associated with Fakhr Al-Din

Thus from him comes a festival for the refuge-seeker and the seeker of bounty.

So it is a feast for the refugee and the sheltered one

يُعطي الفقير وسُحب الجو باخلةٌ

يُعطي الفقير وسُحب الجو باخلةٌ

ويوسعُ الجارَ نصراً وهو مطرود

ويوسعُ الجارَ نصراً وهو مطرود

He gives to the poor while the clouds of the sky are stingy,

It gives to the poor while the sky's clouds are stingy

And lavishes aid on the neighbor when he is driven out.

And it widens the neighbor though expelled

فتىً لياليه بيضٌ من مواقده

فتىً لياليه بيضٌ من مواقده

وبيضُ أيامه من حربهِ سودُ

وبيضُ أيامه من حربهِ سودُ

A young man whose nights are white from his hearth-fires,

A knight whose nights are white from his fires

And whose white days are black from his warfare.

And his days are white from his dark wars

فدامَ أبلجَ بسَّاماً أخا كَرمٍ

فدامَ أبلجَ بسَّاماً أخا كَرمٍ

تُتْلى محامدهُ ما أورقَ العودُ

تُتْلى محامدهُ ما أورقَ العودُ

So may he remain radiant, ever smiling, a man of generosity,

So may he who is clothed in white with a generous brother last

His praises recited as long as the bough puts forth leaves.

His praises recited as long as wood grows leaves
