كُلٌّ يُهَنّي بِيَومِ العيدِ صاحِبَهُ

كُلٌّ يُهَنّي بِيَومِ العيدِ صاحِبَهُ

لِأَنَّ أَعيادَهُم في الدَهرِ أَفرادُ

لِأَنَّ أَعيادَهُم في الدَهرِ أَفرادُ

Each man congratulates his companion on the day of Eid,

Each congratulates his companion on the feast day,

For their Eids, through the ages, are isolated occasions.

For their feast days are isolated occasions in time.

وَلا أَخُصُّ لَهُ يَوماً بِتَهنِئَةٍ

وَلا أَخُصُّ لَهُ يَوماً بِتَهنِئَةٍ

أَيّامُهُ كُلُّها لِلناسِ أَعيادُ

أَيّامُهُ كُلُّها لِلناسِ أَعيادُ

But I single out no day on which to congratulate him:

And I single out no day for congratulating him:

All his days are Eids for the people.

All his days are feast days for the people.
