1. The two who fulfilled their promise from afar
Are honored in life, held in high esteem

2. Their arrival is the most generous on earth
The arrival of Fitr thus the best two Eids

3. My cheeks are delighted like red apples
Blooming between two cheeks with charm

4. Like my kohl lined eyes, dots of musk
Inscribed by the pen of a scribe

5. Or my eyelashes, a bouquet wherein is a houri
Beautified by the magic of Babylonians

6. Or like the union of love and reunion in the time
Of a fervent lover torn between estrangement and closeness

7. Their meeting on Wednesday is evidence
Of the demise of twoScripts of the Book

8. Of the Abbasids, so alien, who disliked
What Allah has purchased for religion with money
