اِستَعِذ مِن رَمَضانِ

اِستَعِذ مِن رَمَضانِ

بِسُلافاتِ الدِنانِ

بِسُلافاتِ الدِنانِ

Seek refuge from Ramadan

Seek refuge from Ramadan

Seek refuge from the fast of Ramadan,

in the choicest wines of the wine jars.

With the first rains of Shawwal

With choicest vintage from the earthen casks,

وَاِطوِ شَوّالاً عَلى القَص

وَاِطوِ شَوّالاً عَلى القَص

فِ وَتَغريدِ القِيانِ

فِ وَتَغريدِ القِيانِ

And pass Shawwal in revel-

And pass Shawwal with joy

And pass Shawwal in thunderous festivities,

ry and the singing of songstresses.

Among the singing of sparrows

And in the warbling of the singing girls,

وَليَكُن في كُلِّ يَومٍ

وَليَكُن في كُلِّ يَومٍ

لَكَ فيهِ سَكرَتانِ

لَكَ فيهِ سَكرَتانِ

And let there be each day

And let each day

And let there be for you, in every day,

two bouts of drunkenness for you.

Bring you double joy

Two bouts of deep intoxication found,

مَنَّ شَوّالٌ عَلَينا

مَنَّ شَوّالٌ عَلَينا

وَحَقيقٌ بِاِمتِنانِ

وَحَقيقٌ بِاِمتِنانِ

Shawwal has bestowed its favor upon us,

Shawwal has blessed us

Shawwal has placed a favor upon us,

and deserves our gratitude.

With bounty and grace

And truly it is worthy of our thanks;

جاءَ بِالقَصفِ وَبِالعَز

جاءَ بِالقَصفِ وَبِالعَز

فِ وَتَخليعِ العِنانِ

فِ وَتَخليعِ العِنانِ

It came with revelry and music-

Bringing fruit and glory

It came with revelry and music's strain,

making, and loosening the reins.

And release from restraint

And with the loosening of every rein.

أَوفَقُ الأَشهُرِ لي أَب

أَوفَقُ الأَشهُرِ لي أَب

عَدُها مِن رَمَضانِ

عَدُها مِن رَمَضانِ

The month most congenial to me is the far-

The best month after

The most agreeable of months to me,

thest of them from Ramadan.

Ramadan, its noble father

Is that most distant from the Ramadan.
