1. قَدْ زَارَ فِي الْعِيدِ ظَبْيٌ

    كَالْبَدْرِ قُلْنَا تَبَارَكْ

    A gazelle has come visiting at Eid,

    Like the full moon—we said, “Be blessed!”

  2. فَقُلْتُ مَا الإسْمُ قُلْ لِي

    فَقَدْ أمِنَّا نِفَارَكْ

    So I said, “What is your name? Tell me,

    For we have no fear of your shying away.”

  3. فَقَالَ لِي الإسْمُ عِيدٌ

    فَقُلْتُ عِيدٌ مُبَارَكْ

    Then he said to me, “The name is Eid.”

    So I said, “A blessed Eid!”
