1. She saw a lightning towards Al-Aqeeq so she yearned
And the old longing reminded her so she lamented
١. رأت بارقا نحو العقيق فحنّت
وذكّرها الشوق القديم فأنت
2. She wished for the soft life in its plateaus
Yet she does not have from her life what she wished
٢. تمنّت رقق العيش في هضباته
وليس لها من عيشها ما تمنّت
3. She yearned for the water of Al-Aqeeq and its people
The yearning of one who slipped from the good life
٣. وحنّت إلى ماء العقيق وأهله
حنين التي عن طيّب العيش زلت
4. Though time, if it ties
Joy to a people, it would repeat and dissolve
٤. على أنّها الأيام إن هيَ عقدت
نعيما على قوم أعادت فحلّت
