I say to my friend as the evening descends upon us

أقول لصاحبي والعيس تهوي

1. I say to my friend as the evening descends upon us
Let's enjoy ourselves here between the sand dunes

١. أَقولُ لِصاحِبي وَالعيسُ تَهوي
بِنا بَينَ المُنيفَةِ فَالضِمارِ

2. Breathe in the fragrant breeze of Najd
For after dusk, there is no Najd breeze

٢. تَمَتَّع مِن شَميمِ عَرارِ نَجدٍ
فَما بَعدَ العَشيَّةِ مِن عَرارِ

3. Oh, blessed are the winds of Najd
And the meadows lush without rain showers

٣. أَلا يا حَبَّذا نَفَحاتُ نَجدٍ
وَرَيّا رَوضِهِ غِبَّ القُطارِ

4. While your family arrives as summer settles on Najd
Yet you remain in your time, sad and cheerless

٤. وَأَهلُكَ إِذ يَحِلُّ الحَيَّ نَجداً
وَأَنتَ عَلى زَمانِكَ غَيرَ زارٍ

5. Months pass by without us noticing
As if they were but fleeting moments

٥. شُهورٌ يَنقَضينَ وَما شَعُرنا
بِأَنصافٍ لَهُنَّ وَلا سَرارِ

6. The nights are the best of nights
And longer than any day can be

٦. فَأَمّا لَيلُهُنَّ فَخَيرُ لَيلٍ
وَأَطوَلُ ما يَكونُ مِنَ النَهارِ
