1. مَضَى رَمَضَانُ قَدْ أَدَّيْتُ فِيْهِ

    حُقُوقَ اللَّهِ قُرْآنَاً وَصَوْمَا

    Ramadan has passed; in it you duly discharged

    the duties owed to God, through Qur’an-recitation and fasting.

  2. وَجَاءَ الفِطْرُ فَالْهُ الآنَ فِيْهِ

    وَلاَ تَسْمَعْ لِمَنْ يَلْحَاكَ لَوْمَا

    Eid al-Fitr has come; make merry in it now,

    and heed no one who reproaches you.

  3. وَعَدِّلْ قِسْمَةَ الأَيّامِ قَصْفَاً

    وَعَدْلُ رِيَاسَةٍ يَوْمَاً وَيَوْمَا

    Apportion the days equitably for revelry;

    and the equitable measure of leadership is two days and one day.

  4. وَلَيْلُكَ شَطْرُ عُمْرِكَ فَاغْتَنِمْهُ

    وَلاَ تَذْهَبْ بِنِصْفِ العُمْرِ نَوْمَا

    Your night is half your life, so seize it;

    do not let it—half a lifetime—pass away in sleep.
