The home of Najd and its people has drifted far from us,

تناءت بنا عن أرض نجد وأهله

1. The home of Najd and its people has drifted far from us,
To a foreign land, like a crack in solid rock.

١. تَناءَتْ بنَا عن أَرضِ نَجدٍ وأهلِهِ
نَوَى غُربَةٍ كالصّدعِ في الحجَرِ الصّلْدِ

2. It's said that giving up hope cures love's agony,
Yet my malady, despair itself cannot heal.

٢. وقَد قِيلَ في اليأسِ الشّفاءُ مِن الهوى
ودَائي الّذي أَقضي بهِ اليأسُ من نَجدِ

3. A home where I shared the bloom of my youth,
And left behind dear brothers, noble friends.

٣. بلادٌ بها صاحبتُ شَرْخَ شَبِيبتي
وفارقتُ إِخواني الكِرامَ ذَوِي وُدّي

4. When thoughts of them cross my heart now and then,
I am distraught, speechless, words cannot convey.

٤. إذا خطَرتْ منهم على القلبِ خطرَةٌ
تدلَّهتُ حتى ما أُعيدُ ولا أُبْدي
