1. أَهلاً وَسَهلاً بِالنايِ وَالعودِ

    وَكَأسِ ساقٍ كَالغُصنِ مَقدودِ

    Welcome to the reed flute and the oud,

    And to the cup of a cupbearer, slender as a branch.

  2. قَدِ اِنقَضَت دَولَةُ الصِيامِ وَقَد

    بَشَّرَ سُقمُ الهِلالِ بِالعيدِ

    The reign of fasting has ended, and already

    The crescent’s sickliness has brought glad tidings of Eid.
