Eid Father
I present Eid greetings when Eid comes,
With sweetest feelings and fine descriptions.
For the one who is for us an Eid, bountiful river and shade,
The one whose shade will never vanish even if all others vanish.
The one who is for us a fortress against time, the one,
Who is ever steadfast as mountains in his promises.
I see in him Eid made manifest,
Still he is greater, the example.
With Eid he shares many features,
Proving them alike in rank and glory.
In Zayed and in Eid that which banishes boredom,
Generosity, pleasure and celebration.
Eid is but joy, pleasure and amusement,
And Zayed for us the greatest joy, the master of men.
Zayed's right hand gives generously,
Generosity is Eid's nature, and honourable deeds.
Zayed brings great joy to any land he visits,
Just as Eid brings great joy.
Zayed the path of nobility guides,
And Eid the time of noble deeds and great gains.
Zayed adds to the record of honour,
Countless morals and great piety.
Eid is incomplete when it comes,
Only Zayed fills Eid's hollow crescent.*
Zayed for us is Eid at all times,
Whilst Eid lasts but three days and nights.
The joy of Eid lasts but an hour,
But Zayed is ever a joy, first and last.
So congratulate Eid for the honour,
It has from Zayed gained.
* - Eid marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan and is declared when the crescent moon is sighted.
