1. Greetings to you from the city of Jibla,
Even if the road to Sana'a is long and far,
١. سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ مَدينَةِ جِبْلَةٍ
وإنْ طالَ شَوْطُ البُعْدِ عَنْ سُوحِ صَنْعاءِ
2. I send you the greetings of a longing one,
Carried by a messenger named Sarra,
٢. تَحِيَةَ مُشْتاقٍ إليكُمْ بَعَثْتُها
عَلَى كَفِّ بِشْرٍ واسْمُهُ اسْمُ سَرَّاءِ
3. Bringing you good news of our safe return
With health unharmed by afflictions and hardship.
٣. يُبَشّركُمْ بالعَوْدِ مِنّا بِنِعْمَةٍ
وصِحَّةِ جِسْمٍ لَمْ يُضَرَّ بِضَرّاءِ
