العيدُ يومٌ يسرُّ الناس مقْدمُه
وفضلُ يومٍ واِنْ أرضاكَ محدود
The feast is a day that brings joy to people upon its arrival
Though the virtue of a day pleases you however limited
وكلُّ يومٍ بفخر الدين مُقْترنٌ
فمنه للملتجي والمُعْتفي عيدُ
And every day is associated with Fakhr Al-Din
So it is a feast for the refugee and the sheltered one
يُعطي الفقير وسُحب الجو باخلةٌ
ويوسعُ الجارَ نصراً وهو مطرود
It gives to the poor while the sky's clouds are stingy
And it widens the neighbor though expelled
فتىً لياليه بيضٌ من مواقده
وبيضُ أيامه من حربهِ سودُ
A knight whose nights are white from his fires
And his days are white from his dark wars
فدامَ أبلجَ بسَّاماً أخا كَرمٍ
تُتْلى محامدهُ ما أورقَ العودُ
So may he who is clothed in white with a generous brother last
His praises recited as long as wood grows leaves
