يا أَيُّها الشَهمُ الَّذي

ما غَرَّهُ لُعبٌ وَلَهوِ

O you who is spirited, whom

No playing or jesting deceived,

وَعَنِ العَشائِرَ وَالمَآ

ثِرِ ما اِعتَراهُ قَطُّ سَهوِ

And from kinsfolk and water

Abundant with which it was never sated obliviously,

خَيري باشا أَحمَدَ

مِن زانِهِ حُلمٌ وَعَفوِ

Kheiri Pasha Ahmad

Of his glory, forbearance and pardon,

أَبشَرَ بِشَهرِ الصَومِ قَد

وافاكَ يَحمِلُ كُلُّ زَهوِ

Rejoice with the month of fasting that

Came to you, bearing all blossoming,

وَلِبِرِّكُم وَصَفائِهِ

أَرخَتهُ صَوماً بِصَفوِ

And for your righteousness and its purity

I made it fasting in purity
