1. I come to you a poet, not an ambassador
Bearing my passion and a pure heart

2. And a tongue that sings of your magic
O enchanters, bring forth the incense

3. And grant me love, let me revel and swoon
In its realms. Fill the universe with light

4. Grant it to me.. for I cherish love
How long in its protection I lived serenely

5. I'm a bird that aspires to the heavens
That draws from ancestors deep roots

6. If your Sudan runs in my conscience
Like spring spreading its fragrances

7. Your people are a font of help and loyalty
Its waters fill the ages with presence
