O you who observe the fever on the day of his recovery,
O you who vow to fast on the day of his recovery,
Had you understood, it would call for a vow of prostration.
Had you understood, your vow would have been to prostrate.

Indeed, I vowed—in defiance of you all—
I have vowed, in opposition to you,
to break my fast; so how could I fast on Eid?
To break my fast—so how can I fast on the day of Eid?
