1. O garden of knowledge and O cloud of dew
You have always, you have always been our life of ease
١. يا روضَ علمٍ ويا سَحابَ ندىً
لا زِلتَ لا زِلتَ عيشَنا الرَّغدا
2. Your hands rain dew upon us as
The waves surge and flow forth
٢. يَتْرَى علينا نَدَى يديكَ كما
تَدافَعَ الموْجُ جال فاطّرَدا
3. May God compensate us for other than you
And may we never be compensated for you, O master
٣. عوّضنا اللّهُ منْ سواكَ ولا
عوّضَنا منكَ سيّداً أبدا
4. What an excellent companion was your companion
The lion left in you his courage
٤. أيَّ هِزَبْرٍ كانَ الهِزَبْرُ لقد
غادرَ منكَ الضَّرغامَة الأسدا
