1. هِلال العِيد تَنشرح الصُدورُ

    بِرؤيته وَتَبتَسم الثُغورُ

    The crescent of Eid—hearts are gladdened

    upon seeing it, and mouths smile.

  2. وَتُنشرُ في رِياض الفطر مِنهُ

    وَقَد طُويَ الصِيام لَنا زُهور

    And from it, in the gardens of Eid al-Fitr, are spread

    flowers for us, now that the fast has been folded away.

  3. وَتَبدو للورى في أُفق مصر

    بِتَوفيق وَإخوته بدور

    And to humankind, on Egypt’s horizon, appear

    full moons in Tawfiq and his brothers.

  4. بتوفيق لعيد الفطر نُور

    Through Tawfiq, Eid al-Fitr has light.
