Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Setelah berpuasa satu bulan lamanya
Berzakat fitrah menurut perintah agama
Kini kita beraidil fitri berbahagia
Mari kita berlebaran bersuka gembira

Berjabat tangan sambil bermaaf maafan
Hilang dendam habis marah di hari lebaran
Minal aidil walfaizin maafkan zahir dan batin

Selamat para pemimpin rakyatnya makmur terjamin

Dari segala penjuru mengalir ke kota
Ramai orang berpakaian baru serba indah
Setahun sekali marilah bersukaria
Agar hilang segala rasa sedih dan duka

Berbelanja jangan boros ikut suka hati
Nanti tuan akan susah oh diri sendiri
Minal aidil walfaizin maafkan zahir dan batin
Selamat para pemimpin rakyatnya makmur terjamin

Hari raya idul hati ku riang sekali
Ada ketupat kuih muih bermacam Iagi
Kuih koci yang sangat sangat aku gemari
Di luarnya pulut di dalam berisi inti

Mari tuan mari puan menjamu selera
Ketupat dan kuih hidangan di hari raya
Minal aidil walfaizin maafkan zahir dan batin
Selamat para pemimpin rakyatnya makmur terjamin

Dari segala penjuru mengalir ke kota
Ramai orang berpakaian baru serba indah
Setahun sekali marilah bersukaria
Agar hilang segala rasa sedih dan duka

Berbelanja jangan boros ikut suka hati
Nanti tuan akan susah oh diri sendiri

Minal aidil walfaizin maafkan zahir dan batin
Selamat para pemimpin rakyatnya makmur terjamin
