بُشْراكَ طَيرُ الهَنا مِن فَوقِ أَغصانِ

بُشْراكَ طَيرُ الهَنا مِن فَوقِ أَغصانِ

مِنَ السّرورِ تَغَنَّى فَوقَ عيدانِ

مِنَ السّرورِ تَغَنَّى فَوقَ عيدانِ

Glad tidings to you! The bird of joy, from above the branches,

Your bird of bliss sings joyously above the branches

Sang with delight upon the boughs.

With gladness, above the pliant boughs.

وَقَد أَتانا بِشيرُ السّعدِ يُخبِرُنا

وَقَد أَتانا بِشيرُ السّعدِ يُخبِرُنا

بِأَنَّ ذا العيد عِندَ النّاسِ عيدانِ

بِأَنَّ ذا العيد عِندَ النّاسِ عيدانِ

And a herald of good fortune has come to us, telling us

And the herald of good fortune has come to tell us

That this feast is two feasts for the people.

That for the people this holiday is two feasts in one.

فَفَتحُ عكّا وَعيدُ النّحرِ يَعقُبهُ

فَفَتحُ عكّا وَعيدُ النّحرِ يَعقُبهُ

فَالفتحُ الاِوّلُ وَالثّاني هوَ الثَّاني

فَالفتحُ الاِوّلُ وَالثّاني هوَ الثَّاني

For there is the conquest of Acre, and the Feast of Sacrifice follows it;

So Aqqa is opened, followed by the Feast of the Sacrifice -

Thus the conquest is the first, and the second is the second.

The first feast and the second are thus the second feast.

وَالحَمدُ للّهِ مَنْ بِاللُّطفِ أَدرَكَنا

وَالحَمدُ للّهِ مَنْ بِاللُّطفِ أَدرَكَنا

وَلُطفُهُ جَلَّ لَم يُدرَكْ بِأَذهانِ

وَلُطفُهُ جَلَّ لَم يُدرَكْ بِأَذهانِ

And praise be to God, who came to our aid with grace;

Thanks be to God, who with kindness has let us reach

And His grace is sublime, unfathomed by minds.

This day - His abundant kindness cannot be grasped by minds.
