1. O lightning of Syria, revive the ruins and the house
And convey your talk of Lubna and Lubnan

2. And bring what your shoulders have carried of news
For I have neighbors in Jurayroun as neighbors

3. Your nights have irrigated with love copiously
Returning the thirst of that soil saturated

4. And ruba did not exceed from Ghazioun alive
Who returns above As-Siyasi from it aggression

5. Those meadows which have not stopped since they were inhabited
On earth for amusement and camps as homelands

6. An air wherein the horses of fancy roamed
I found in it for the gaze of the eye a playground

7. And a theater whichever eye experienced it saw
In its field a water spring and gazelles

8. From every hill like a balanced spear
Its teeth watching have not yet lost a tooth

9. The heart empties except from affection and sorrow
Which kept its dark complexion from both filled

10. With every companion of it and converser
Who honored so nothing but after it disgraced

11. Like the brown snake when it shook its coils
Biting and like the polished sharp sword eyelids

12. It shows from a fresh mustache its kiss
Shows you its composition pearls and coral

13. And O my reproacher in it stop blaming me
For I don’t see in it for me any advice even if it were two

14. You were not hoping for my integrity and you are not someone
Of passion so how with this are you seizing now
