1. وأَقبلْتَ قَبلَ العِيدِ والعيدُ عَارِفٌ

    وَمُعْترِفٌ أَنَّ المُهِمَّ المُقَدَّمُ

    And you arrived before Eid, and Eid knows

    And acknowledges that the important one takes precedence.

  2. يَمينُكَ أَبهى بَهْجَةً مِن هِلالهِ

    وَخُمْسُكَ لا عَشْرٌ من الشَّهْرِ يُلْثَمُ

    Your right hand is more radiant in splendor than its crescent moon,

    And your five fingers—not ten days of the month—are kissed.

  3. وَمَا أَنتَ إلا رَحْمةُ اللَّهِ سَاقَها

    إلى بَلَدٍ عَاداتُها بِكَ تُزْحَمُ

    And you are nothing but God's mercy, which He has brought

    To a land whose customs are crowded out by you.

  4. يَمِيناً لأَنتَ البَدْرُ مَعْنىً وَصُورَةً

    وَلولا اعتِقَادي ذا لمَا كُنتُ أُقسِمُ

    I swear: you are indeed the full moon in essence and in form,

    And were this not my belief, I would not swear.
