ما أَسعَدَ العيدُ في وُجودِكَ

يَأتي وَيَغدو أَسيرَ جودِك

How joyous is Eid in your presence,

It comes and becomes a prisoner of your generosity.

أَعادَهُ اللَهُ كُلَّ عامٍ

بِما نُرَجّيهِ مِن سُعودِك

May Allah bring it every year,

With what we hope for from your good fortunes.

فَعِدهُ بِالبِشرِ في التَلاقي

فَإِنَّ بُشراهُ في وُعودِك

Greet it with glad tidings when we meet,

For its tidings are in your promises.

وَقُل لِذا الدَهرِ كُن أَماناً

فَالأَمنُ وَاليُمنُ مِن جُنودِك

And say to these times: be safe,

For safety and prosperity are from your soldiers.

وَأَنتَ يا طالِعَ المَعالي

قُم وَاِنتَبِه بَعدُ مِن رُقودِك

And you, O noble one,

Arise and wake up now from your slumber.

فَذو المَعالي أَبو حُسَين

ما اِعتَادَ إِلّا عَلى صُعودِك

For the noble one, Abu Hussein,

Is not accustomed except to your ascent.

وَمِن سِنينَ مَضَت تَراهُ

مُستَغرِبُ الأَمرِ مِن جُمودِك

And from years past you see him

Astonished at the matter from your stillness.

أَلَستُ إِلّا لَدَيهِ عَبداً

وَطاءَ نَعلَيهِ مِن خُدودِك

Am I not but a servant at his door,

Who wiped his shoes with my cheeks?

يا موثِقاً بِالعُهودِ قُل لي

مَتى تَفَكَّكَت مِن قُيودِك

O you who upholds pacts, tell me,

When will you undo my shackles?

فَاِستَصحِبِ اليُمنَ وَالتَهاني

وَاِرفَع لَمّا جَلَّ مِن بُنودِك

Take auspiciousness and congratulations,

And raise what was majestic from your conditions.

أَقبِل عَليهِ كَكُلِّ عَبدٍ

وَخَلِّ ذانيكَ مِن شُهودِك

Turn to him as every servant,

And rid your essence from your witnesses.

وَاِركَع خُضوعاً إِلَيهِ وَاِسجُد

وَاِستَمنِحِ الصَفحَ في سُجودِك

Bow down to him in submission and prostrate,

And beg forgiveness in your prostration.

وَتُب عَنِ المُهَلِ وَالتَراخي

وَثُب وَثُبتَ عُرى عُهودِك

Repent from laziness and delay,

Leap and fortify the bonds of your pacts.

وَقُل بِحَقِّ الحُسَينِ تَعفو

وَلا تَخيبُ رَجا عُبَيدِك

And say for Hussein’s right: You forgive,

And do not disappoint the hopes of your servants.
