1. People yearn for success though it pleases them
By her father's life! Better that I die and attain my desire

2. They reproach me so I may forget her love, but
In her absence, my tears flow and I am distressed

3. If you remain this evening in Hejaz, maybe
I will witness the success of Iraq twice over

4. And we were all together in neighborliness and joy
But our fellowship is now scattered and divided
