يا ساعة الفرحه تشوقت للعيد

يا ساعة الفرحه تشوقت للعيد

عيد العيون وعيد قلب الصبابه

عيد العيون وعيد قلب الصبابه

O hour of joy, I have longed for Eid.

O hour of joy, I longed for Eid

An Eid for the eyes, an Eid for the lovesick heart.

Eid of the eyes and Eid of the young heart

رد الجمال لشوفتي يا اتلع الجيد

رد الجمال لشوفتي يا اتلع الجيد

واسحب على حرفي لحون الربابه

واسحب على حرفي لحون الربابه

Bring beauty back to my sight, O you of the long, graceful neck.

Restore beauty to my eyes, O most beautiful

And draw the rababa's melodies across my verse.

And draw on my words the colors of the rifle

حرفي بصوتك يا اجمل الصوت تغريد

حرفي بصوتك يا اجمل الصوت تغريد

يا رمز حبي هاك رمز الكتابه

يا رمز حبي هاك رمز الكتابه

My verse in your voice, O loveliest of voices, is birdsong.

My words with your voice, O most beautiful voice, warbling

O emblem of my love, take this emblem in writing.

O symbol of my love, here is the symbol of writing

يا صبح عمر فيك للعمر تجديد

يا صبح عمر فيك للعمر تجديد

وحبك يجدد كل يوم شبابه

وحبك يجدد كل يوم شبابه

O dawn of life, in you life finds renewal.

O morning of life, in you life is renewed

And your love renews life's youth every day.

And your love renews youth every day

 للعين والقمرا وحسنك مواعيد

للعين والقمرا وحسنك مواعيد

وليل الهوى شرع للأحباب بابه

وليل الهوى شرع للأحباب بابه

The eye, the moon, and your beauty have their rendezvous.

For the eyes and moons and your beauty there are dates

And love's night has opened its door wide to lovers.

And the night of passion has opened its door to the loved ones

ياما زعجت الصوت باسمك تراديد

ياما زعجت الصوت باسمك تراديد

وياما نسيم الوجد يمك سرابه

وياما نسيم الوجد يمك سرابه

How often I raised my voice with refrains of your name.

How I have annoyed the voice with your name's lyrics

And how often the breeze of longing bore it toward you by night.

And how often the breeze of passion has been a mirage to you

وياما تمنيتك على باقي الغيد

وياما تمنيتك على باقي الغيد

واقول مثلك يا غلا الروح ما به

واقول مثلك يا غلا الروح ما به

And how often I longed for you above all other graceful beauties.

And how often I wished you above the rest of the beautiful

And I say: there is none like you, O my soul's beloved.

And I say the like of you, O the soul's most precious, there is not

ابيك تهوى مثل ما اهواك وتزيد

ابيك تهوى مثل ما اهواك وتزيد

يا من خفوق القلب حسنك غدا به

يا من خفوق القلب حسنك غدا به

I want you to love as I love you—and love still more.

I want you to love just as I love you and more

O you whose beauty has carried off my beating heart.

O you whom the throbbing of the heart, your beauty has become obsessed with

يا قطرة الغيمه على يابس البيد

يا قطرة الغيمه على يابس البيد

رد الحياة لخافقي يا ذهابه

رد الحياة لخافقي يا ذهابه

O drop from the cloud upon the parched desert wastes.

O raindrop on the barren wasteland

Restore life to my beating heart, O you who carried it away.

Restore life to my fluttering heart, O loss
