1. You are nothing but a rarity
Skilled in every art

2. You are an allure to the ears
And an allure to the sight

3. You have captivated a broken-hearted people
Healer of the tyrannized souls

4. You are the princess of art capable
Of creativity forever

5. You rightfully deserve
To be the commander

6. You are a genius
Among the greatest geniuses

7. A great miracle
Among the miracles of Cairo

8. Among your songs
And your beautiful face I'm captive

9. Our night is white among
The best vigilant nights

10. Welcome Iraq's countryside and present
It's enough that people around the two rivers are grateful

11. As for the songs they are from
A sincere delicate heart

12. In its essence souls are flying
With joy like birds

13. With the magic in your eyes
Hearts have become poets

14. Gently, for we have no power
Against your overpowering glances

15. What can the weak do against
The cutting swords

16. He has no argument
Except the overflowing tears

17. Hearts pay the tax of love
While they're yielding

18. Eyes are never sated
From watching beauty

19. The beautiful lass resembles
The sparkling stars

20. Are we on our land
Or in the blossoming sky

21. If the dead were revived your
Enchanting songs would revive them

22. So art is good and good
Are your rare songs

23. We are in a gathering
Of supporting elite

24. It's as if spring has returned
Strewing its flowers

25. Nightingale of the garden sing
For the blossoming faces

26. Songstress my fragrant
Greetings to you

27. Be forgiving to an old man
Who is excusing himself to beauty

28. Do not think of old men
Like fading drawings

29. Every person is inclined
To his own temperament

30. You laugh at me mockingly
As if making fun of me

31. Is it wrong when the soul
Flows into an old man?

32. Youth may return to me
Still in my memory

33. I cry when I remember it
Over its gone days

34. If I don't enjoy art
Let the cycle turn against me

35. And let's enjoy before
Our present life slips away

36. All life is heading
Toward the abyss

37. Let's earn this life and God
Will forgive in the end

38. This is a song in it
Signs of brilliance are apparent

39. You have succeeded my rare one
In the beginning and end

40. I sense a flaming fire
And you are the one igniting it

41. And people in the madness of love
Are defeated and vanquished

42. My flower I greet you
With the rain-laden spring

43. This soaring ovation
Is all for you

44. You sang and it was seductive
In the raging melodies

45. You echoed stirring
Our dormant passions

46. At times you touch the oud
With a skilled hand

47. So the oud screams like a child
Tickled by a palm frond

48. The oud is a poet through you
And you are its poet

49. Sing for our beloved
Emigrant freedom

50. That it may return after
Turning away like a setting sun

51. We were in an era
Of victorious nations

52. Vanquished by the hands
Of betraying time

53. We were brought down by ancestors
Who stumbled

54. This wasn't expected
By the souls of revolution

55. And perhaps time will turn
Declaring good tidings

56. So the nation regains the rights
Of neighboring nations
