عادَ السُرورُ إِلَيكَ في الأَعيادِ

عادَ السُرورُ إِلَيكَ في الأَعيادِ

وَسَعِدتَ مِن دُنياكَ بِالإِسعادِ

وَسَعِدتَ مِن دُنياكَ بِالإِسعادِ

Joy has returned to you on feast days,

Joy has returned to you during holidays,

and you have found happiness in your life by bringing happiness.

And you have become happy with your life's bliss.

وَقَضاءُ شُكرٍ رُبَّما حَمَّلتَهُ

وَقَضاءُ شُكرٍ رُبَّما حَمَّلتَهُ

رِفقاً فَقَد أَثقَلتَهُ بِأَيادِ

رِفقاً فَقَد أَثقَلتَهُ بِأَيادِ

And you may have charged him with rendering thanks—

Fulfilling gratitude you may have carried lightly,

be gentle, for you have weighed him down with favors.

Yet with kindness you have made it heavy.

قادَ النُفوسَ مَهابَةً وَمَحَبَّةً

قادَ النُفوسَ مَهابَةً وَمَحَبَّةً

بَدرٌ بَدا مُتَعَمِّماً بِسَوادِ

بَدرٌ بَدا مُتَعَمِّماً بِسَوادِ

Souls were led through awe and love

The souls were led with awe and love,

by a full moon that appeared turbaned in black.

A full moon appeared, donning black attire.

ما إِن أَرى شَبَهاً لَهُ فيما أَرى

ما إِن أَرى شَبَهاً لَهُ فيما أَرى

أُمُّ الكِرامِ قَليلَةُ الأَولادِ

أُمُّ الكِرامِ قَليلَةُ الأَولادِ

I see none like him in all I see;

I see no one who resembles him among all I see,

the mother of the noble has few children.

The mother of generosity, few are her sons.
