أَلا يا ناصِر الدين المرجّى

لِكُلِّ عَظيمَة وَلِكُلِّ جود

O supporter of the hoped-for religion

For every great one and for every generosity

نَذَرتُ الصَومَ دَهري يَومَ تأتي

صَحيحَ الجِسمِ لِلَّه الحَميدِ

I have vowed to fast for as long as I live on the day you come

With a healthy body, for God the Praiseworthy

وانّي إِن رأَيتُكَ حَلَّ نَذري

وحقَّ الصَومُ لِلَّهِ المَجيدِ

And truly if I see that you have fulfilled my vow

And the fasting is a right for God the Glorious

وَأَعجبُ ما يقالُ وجوبُ صَوم

عَليَّ وَقَد رأَيت هِلالَ عيدِ

And the strangest thing said is the obligation of fasting

Upon me when I have seen the crescent of Eid

فَدم واسلَم عَلى رغم الحَسود

وَعِش ما شِئتَ في العَيشِ الرَغيدِ

So go ahead and make peace despite the envious

And live as long as you wish in the soft life
