1. To Aleppo the radiant, our passion was ignited
And our separation has been prolonged, O Mays of glory and distance

2. So my tears for those lands is my living
A chain ablaze and fire that has spread

3. We have a covenant of friendship and generosity with her people
And it is faithfulness to safeguard that friendship

4. And we recall gentle moments of past friendship
And the status of glory rises when friendship is recalled

5. Nights at Bab al-Ahmar, its darkness adorned
With the light of piety, remembrance gladdens friendship

6. And the honorable company of the people, so the finest contentment
Abu al-Barakat al-Qaram, its unique master

7. And in Baniyas the zeal, his breast was
Ali ibn Khayr Allah from his lofty dignity

8. And in Qarluq Tah and Bayyadah al-Sinni
In it the brilliance of faith has glittered with joy

9. Nobles from the family of Rifa’i, their status
Is sublime, so excellent O Mays is this family and bravery

10. And the status of the sons of al-Kayyal has not forgotten their pride
To them through Rifa’i is nobility and glory

11. Those are my people, so bring me their like
If truth does not exceed its due of taking and giving
