1. The precious pearl of affection has arrived,
Sailing on the sea of her beauty like a ship,

2. Bearing tidings that are verses of generosity,
Clear signs of sincere loyalty.

3. With meanings that shine like the full moon in a night
Of mysterious letters, so faithful and true.

4. Reminding me of days gone by, which still
Dwell in my heart, in its impenetrable fortress.

5. Beirut, a coffin for my heart,
Brought me serenity and peace within.

6. May God protect that time, when
Its nights were the best celebrations for me.

7. I reaped fruits of companionship
In the gardens of wishes in that city.
