1. Lebanon, o homeland of the stranger and his glory
Glory built by your tattooed youth

2. Days are shattered under his shoes
And their adversity is subdued by him

3. Lebanon, patience, though the tribulations are grave
The noble is patient with tribulations

4. Say to him who aspires to your slopes
Below the homelands are shrines and breasts

5. If your lions fail you
Free women and youths will respond to you

6. To God belong your slopes, and intimacy His carpet
The cave a wreath, and you a prince

7. The light passed by it in spring, shaking it
And creation lies under its gown, sewn

8. The juniper knelt on the rocks; between its branches
The silvery moon and starling

9. There in the valley a wandering brook
Roaming between the repelling mountains

10. The dawn bathes in its water
And the deer sleep on its banks

11. The spirits frequent it in their wanderings
It is shaded by the willow and sprinkling rain

12. It befriended the shepherds, fearing not their flutes
Their singing and the flowing water's sigh
