مَضَى رَمَضَانُ قَدْ أَدَّيْتُ فِيْهِ
حُقُوقَ اللَّهِ قُرْآنَاً وَصَوْمَا
Ramadan has passed; in it you duly discharged
the duties owed to God, through Qur’an-recitation and fasting.
وَجَاءَ الفِطْرُ فَالْهُ الآنَ فِيْهِ
وَلاَ تَسْمَعْ لِمَنْ يَلْحَاكَ لَوْمَا
Eid al-Fitr has come; make merry in it now,
and heed no one who reproaches you.
وَعَدِّلْ قِسْمَةَ الأَيّامِ قَصْفَاً
وَعَدْلُ رِيَاسَةٍ يَوْمَاً وَيَوْمَا
Apportion the days equitably for revelry;
and the equitable measure of leadership is two days and one day.
وَلَيْلُكَ شَطْرُ عُمْرِكَ فَاغْتَنِمْهُ
وَلاَ تَذْهَبْ بِنِصْفِ العُمْرِ نَوْمَا
Your night is half your life, so seize it;
do not let it—half a lifetime—pass away in sleep.
Sol 5.6
