يا عيد لم تترك همومي في يدي

وسريرتي لك موضعاً ونصيبا

O Eid, you have not left my worries in my hands

And my conscience has a place and share for you

طالت على الركب الطريق ولم تزل

تلقى الوعود طرائقاً وضروبا

The road has been long for the travelers and still

You find promises ways and kinds

وأتيت والوادي السليب وأهله

يستقبلون كوارثاً وخطوبا

And you came while the barren valley and its people

Welcome disasters and calamities

متنابذين بألسنٍ وصحائفٍ

وهي الأشد وقائعاً وحروبا

Disagreeing with tongues and pages

Which are the most intense events and wars

والخصم خلف الجانبين مرابطٌ

يتلقف الغلاب والمغلوبا

And the enemy is camped behind both sides

Taking the defeated and the defeated

غضب يسيل دماً أخف اليوم من

ضغن يثير مثالباً وعيوبا

Anger that flows blood lighter today than

Resentment that stirs up flaws and faults

في الصلح بينهما النجاة وربما

يجدون منك المصلح المحبوبا

In peace between them is salvation and perhaps

They will find from you the beloved reconciler

فتعيد شملهمُ وتجمع رأيهم

ويجيء بالعقبى أخوك قريبا

So you reunite them and unite their opinion

And your brother will come with good consequence soon
