1. O tavern of the riverbank, you have honored our gatherings,
Return to us a day of joy like the one that has passed.

2. Do not deprive us of Imam's jokes, nor
The goodness of leisure, secretly and openly.

3. Do not make us change except for abomination,
When the tambourine brings us joy sometimes.

4. The humming throng of singers sang among us
A plaintive song, and brought us spirit and basil.

5. Amr chained the anklet, then continued
Adding our first ones to our last ones.

6. Quenching your image with an image you have specialized
Apart from the masters, of our worldly pleasures.

7. Your gardens are surrounded by neighboring orchards
Through every corridor, a river and an orchard.

8. You are still the populated home of homelands
With the most generous people, roots and branches.
