1. She cast her eyes towards the sanctuary in tranquility
But when Nejd appeared with its blowing south wind
١. رَمَت بِالحِمى أَبصارَها مُطمَئِنَّةً
فَلَمّا بَدَت نَجدٌ وَهَبَّت جَنوبُها
2. We were stingy towards her with the land, so she was broken
And it was said to Nejd, if only her hearts could settle
٢. بَخِلنا عَلَيها بِالبُرى فَتَقَطَّعَت
وَقَلَّ لِنَجدٍ لَو تَقَرَّت قُلوبُها
