ياّبنَ حُمَيدٍ عِش لَنا سالِماً

ياّبنَ حُمَيدٍ عِش لَنا سالِماً

ما اختَلَفَ النَوروزُ وَالمِهرَجان

ما اختَلَفَ النَوروزُ وَالمِهرَجان

O son of Humayd, live safe and sound for us,

O son of Humaid, live for us in peace

As long as Nowruz and Mihrajan alternate.

Nowruz and Mihrajân are still the same

وَاستَأنِفِ العُمرَ جَديداً فَقَد

وَاستَأنِفِ العُمرَ جَديداً فَقَد

وَلّى زَمانٌ وَأَتانا زَمان

وَلّى زَمانٌ وَأَتانا زَمان

And begin life anew, for indeed

Resume life anew, for time has passed

A time has passed, and another has come to us.

One era ended, another came

أَما تَرى الأَرضَ وَأَثوابُها

أَما تَرى الأَرضَ وَأَثوابُها

شَقائِقُ النُعمانِ وَالأُقحُوان

شَقائِقُ النُعمانِ وَالأُقحُوان

Do you not see the earth, whose garments are

Do you not see the earth and her attire

Anemones and daisies?

Anemones and poppies so vibrant

وَهَذِهِ الأَيّامُ قَد أُبدِلَت

وَهَذِهِ الأَيّامُ قَد أُبدِلَت

فَهيَ ظِرافٌ ناضِراتٌ حِسان

فَهيَ ظِرافٌ ناضِراتٌ حِسان

And these days have indeed been transformed;

These days have been transformed

So they are charming, fresh, and fair.

To gentle, blossoming, radiant ones

فَصَدتَ في النَوروزِ عِرقاً وَقَد

فَصَدتَ في النَوروزِ عِرقاً وَقَد

تُخِيِّرَ الوَقتُ وَطابَ الأَوان

تُخِيِّرَ الوَقتُ وَطابَ الأَوان

You opened a vein at Nowruz, and indeed

You perspired on Nowruz, the time

The time was well chosen, and the moment was right.

Has ripened, and the moment is right

فَاِستَعمِلِ الصَهباءَ في مَجلِسٍ

فَاِستَعمِلِ الصَهباءَ في مَجلِسٍ

تَستَعمِلُ الأَوتارَ فيهِ القِيان

تَستَعمِلُ الأَوتارَ فيهِ القِيان

So drink the tawny wine at a gathering

So gather with friends joyfully

Where singing girls play the strings.

As musicians pluck strings in delight
