1. Leave lightning and hail behind
And take the valley of Hammana

2. It is paradise come to life
With al-Shaghour as its guardian

3. If it meanders or inclines
You'll see beauty unveiled

4. And if it sounds or rings
You'll find its depths have ears

5. You'll see it at dawn settled
And at dusk soaring high

6. The birds of passion find no rest
Except in al-Shaghour's gardens

7. None flapped or clapped its wings
Without catching a human soul

8. The heart feels for the heart
Yearnings and sorrows abound

9. You see one house is Maya's
And another is Ghilana's

10. That one belongs to Sulaima
And this one to Hamda

11. Their tales have added
New stories of love
