1. O mother of villages, do you have a mother Eve
For her light has illuminated the tablet
١. أم القرى عندك أم يوح
فقد سرى بنورها اللوح
2. Or one with a golden anklet for her
She knots it in the air fluttering
٢. أم ذات مرط ذهبي لها
يعقدها في الجو تطويح
3. So give me a sister close to her
A body for her and she is its soul
٣. فسقني أختا لها دنها
جسم لها وهي لها روح
4. As if she were the sun and has not shaken off
From it the lamps and torches
٤. كأنها الشمس وما نفضت
من شرر عنها المصابيح
