My friend, I yearn for the pastures

عوجا خليلي على المحضر

1. My friend, I yearn for the pastures
And the open meadows of Salamah's dwellings

١. عوجا خَليلِيَّ عَلى المَحضَرِ
وَالرَبعِ مِن سَلّامَةَ المُقفِرِ

2. Salma reminded me of her days
When she lived near us in Liwa of Asajir

٢. ذَكَّرَني سَلمى وَأَيّامَها
إِذ جاوَرَتنا بِلِوى عَسجَرِ

3. In the meadows of Wudan, a home to us
And a place of gathering - how wondrous a place!

٣. بِالرَبعِ مِن وُدّانَ مَبدىً لَنا
وَمَحوَراً ناهيكَ مِن مَحوَرِ

4. In that dwelling we used to meet
Oh, how splendid was that dwelling!

٤. في مَحضَرٍ كُنّا بِهِ نَلتَقي
يا حَبَّذا ذلِكَ مِن مَحضَرِ

5. When we and the neighbors were all close
In times gone by, in days of old

٥. إِذ نَحنُ وَالحَيُّ بِهِ جيرَةٌ
فيما مَضى مِن سالِفِ الأَعصُرِ
