1. Give me, O Tunisian, from her cream
A cup of purity, let me drink her fresh water

2. She is Layla, and I am Qays with her
And part of faith is love of homeland

3. My passion for her is her passion
Say enough, this exaggeration is honorable

4. And say my zeal is her zeal
With God’s grace we are allies

5. We both blossomed in our prime
And we both were characterized by love

6. I will never deviate from loving her
For innocent passion has possessed me

7. How can I forget when gain is my goal?
And she is excellent gain for the buyer

8. She is above the earth a paradise seen
Among the gardens of ethereal bliss

9. Water from a spring flows in pipes
We and trees are watered by it

10. And a flood of light flows
Electrically in a straight line

11. She flourished and expanded accordingly
And rose, rising with time

12. She dragged the tail of her wonders in the desert
And excelled over every Egyptian city

13. Those who moored at her gates said
“This is the beloved land of pillars”

14. When they saw the green in her clothes
A country that was ideally perfect

15. She rose high above her peers
The rise of glory was evident in her good fortune

16. How many gazelles in her herd
Of European gazelles bend a branch

17. Her waist is delicate inside her clothes
Nicer than a physical body

18. O sea gate, how many anchors in us
Where gazelles of sincerity emerge

19. Who steal hearts with that dress
They are clothes in which beauty rose high

20. How many hearts trampled beneath feet
Whenever a radiant smile appears

21. Its streams were fenced by its canes
And that sunlight upon it

22. And roads sprawl in its soil
Where snakes meander

23. That is the train, answering the desert
Burrowing tunnels in the mountains’ core

24. Lofty-nosed with steam breaths
Thundering voiced, brave at nights

25. It is like a volcano spewing sparks
Plundering the earth with ambush

26. Like the thunderbold in its clouds
A wire’s tail above that branch

27. Electricity walks in its heart
To move smoothly with the willing

28. And towering palaces ornated
And competitng skyscrapers

29. With administrations organized in them
And their organization done as calculated

30. With clear paths paved
And parks, meadows and spaces

31. Chairs lined up on its side
Where poor and rich are equal

32. And shrubs bloomed near it
Beautifying sights

33. And gardens called Belvedere
Say Paradise briefly

34. Its corners crowned not with silk
But with flowers adorned it prosperity

35. And in it a magnificent palace like fire
Moon at night, sun at day

36. How much it lifted its train from its soil
Revealing a charming, beautiful smile

37. That ignites the hearts of those who admire it
Where that beauty is the origin of passion

38. O creek of sand, home of gazelles
O abode of intimacy, garden of joy

39. How much zephyr blew on its branches
How many nights the full moons rose in you

40. How much passion you received from a lover
Whose birds chirped for him in you

41. How many people were distracted from themselves
And saw mirrors of beauty in it

42. And passion pulls like electricity in its pull
It pulled us to the beautiful one, pulls iron

43. We are inclined to love, passion and infatuation
And took the blond one from the core of the chinars

44. But my love for my people has nested
In the most protected sanctuary of pure love

45. Shake, O people, shake the banners
In defense of the green, good fortune appears

46. From east to west Tunisia
Is comfortable, indicating a pleasant life

47. Its Lord increased its fertility
To see its children acquire what they desire

48. O people, be noble
And raise, by God, the status of Tunisians

49. One cannot be a man in it
If his head in it bows down

50. So rise through virtue, ambitions of height
And recite what I have said with fervor

51. Give me, O Tunisian, from her cream
A cup of purity, let me drink her fresh water

52. She is Layla, and I am Qays with her
And part of faith is love of homeland
