مَن سَرَّه العِيدُ فإنّي امرؤٌ

سِلْكُ دُموعي فيه مَقْطوعُ

Whoever is made happy by Eid, I am a man

Whose tears on it are held back

أنا الّذي هَيَّجَ أحزانَه

والدَّهْرُ فيما ساءَ مَتْبوع

I who roused his sorrows

While time in evil is followed

عيدٌ وتَوديعُ أُناسٍ لنا

لَساءنا عيدٌ وتَوديع

An Eid and farewell of people dear to us

Our Eid is a farewell and farewell

كُلّ خليلٍ بَعْدَ أُنْسى به

أَكبرُ حَظّي منا تَشْييع

Each friend after intimacy with him forgotten

My greatest share of him is to accompany at parting

متى أَرى يا ربِّ شَمْلي بهمْ

وهْو كما أهواه مَجْموع

When, O Lord, shall I see my being united with them

And it is as I love, all brought together
