يا هلا بالضَّيفْ.. من بعد غيابْ

لو غبتْ الطَّيفْ.. ساكِن عالبابْ

Welcome, O Guest – After much absence

Even in your absence - You are still in mind

نسهَرْ ما ننامْ.. مع الأحبابْ

We long for fasting – Some amongst the best of days

Little to no sleep - Staying up at night with loved ones

٢- مْن جديد رْجِعنا.. بْحُبّ تْجَمَّعنا

حتّى الْ مِش مَعنا.. مَعنا بْرَمَضانْ

Again, we return – We gather upon love

Even those who are not with us – They join us in Ramaḍān

O Month of illumination – With an abundance of joy

The best of months – Welcome, O Ramaḍān

بتروي بْحِنِّيِّة.. قْلوب المنسِيِّة

بْجَمعِة رمضانْ

A pleasant meal – Provides for a hundred

It warmheartedly - Quenches the forgotten hearts

It is during the gathering in Ramaḍān

..شو حلوِةْ السُّفرَةْ.. ما بْحاجِةْ لْكِترَةْ

مَيِّةْ معْ تَمرَةْ.. بتقوّي العِشرَةْ

اهلا رمضانْ

How beautiful is the table spread – With no need for a lot of food

Some water with a date – Both give strength to the fellowship

Welcome, O Ramaḍān

في بْيوتْ بْحزنا.. مدفونِة جْوارَكْ

Ask about your neighbour – Do not remain at home

Some households nearby – Are overwhelmed with sadness

The good deed – Raises your rank

٨- عطّر أوقاتَكْ.. بْذِكر الرحمٰنْ

علّمْ وتْعَلَّمْ.. انّو الدّيّانْ

ما بيِسكُنْ ولا أيّا مكانْ

Enlighten your nights – By reciting the verses of the Qurʾān

Learn and teach others – that Allāh, al-Dayyān-

Exists without a place

كَتِّرْ المنيحْ.. بتنسى الأحزانْ

ما بتَعرفْ أيّا.. فِعل وإحسانْ

بِثوابو بتِلقى.. بُكرا الغفرانْ

Perform al-Tarāwīḥ prayers – Along with your friends

Increase the good deeds – And you shall forget your sorrows

You do not know – Through which act of kindness

By whose reward in the Hereafter – You might attain forgiveness
