1. وإذا هنيء الملوك فصبح

    ت من العيد أسعد التهنئاتِ

    And when kings are congratulated, may you be greeted in the morning

    with the happiest felicitations of the feast.

  2. وفداك المحل فالنحر في أر

    ض منى والمهل في عرفات

    And may the pilgrim released from consecration, then the sacrifice in the land

    of Mina, and the pilgrim chanting at Arafat be your ransom.

  3. وتعجلت أجر من خلع الإح

    رام عنه الاطمار في الميقات

    And may you receive in advance the reward of one whom consecration stripped

    of his tattered garments at the appointed station.

  4. وأجاب الإله فيك دئي

    غافر الذنب سامع الأصوات

    And may God answer my prayer for you—

    the Forgiver of sin, the Hearer of voices.

  5. زرته والغنى منى ويدي قد

    أتعب الناس عهدها بالصلات

    I visited him when wealth was but a dream, and my hand had already

    wearied people with its long familiarity with gifts.

  6. فكأني ملكت ناصية الده

    ر فصرفتها على شهواتي

    So it was as though I had seized Time by the forelock,

    and turned it according to my desires.
