يَا لَيْلَةَ الأُنْسِ عُودِي

فَعِيدُ إِلْيَاس عيِدِي

O night of intimacy, return

So Ilyas's celebration becomes my celebration

عَهْدٌ قَدِيمٌ مِنَ الوُدِّ

كَانَ خَيْرُ العُهُودِ

An old covenant of love

Was the best of covenants

يَظَلُّ مِلْءَ فُؤادِي

فِي غَيْبَتِي وَشُهُودِي

It remains filling my heart

In my absence and presence

بَيْتُ النُّبوغِ وَكَهْفُ

الْمَجْدِ الْقَدِيمِ الجَدِيدِ

The house of brilliance and the cave

Of old and new glory

كَائِنٌ أَضَفْتَ طَرِيفاً

إِلَى الْفَخَارِ الْعَتِيدِ

Existing, you added a freshness

To the fine old pottery

لِيَحْيَى إِلْيَاسٌ وَلِيَحيَى

آلُهُ فِي سُعُودِ

So that Ilyas lives and so his family lives

In good fortune
