1. I implore you by the valley of winter and its gazelles
And the gazelles of the valley of travel and the alluring eyes
١. أناشدكم وادي الشتا وظباءه
وغزلان وادي السير والأعين الدعجا
2. And a heart, whenever thoughts of Layla crossed it
It flared up with passion and yearning
٢. وقلباً شجياً كلما خطرت له
خواطر من ليلى بأشواقه عجا
3. And a love that in its infancy, oh Hind, we loved
So I inscribed it a lifetime with its sorrows and agony
٣. وحباً قضى في المهد يا هند نحبه
فأرمسته عمراً بغصاته أجا
4. Let me be with this cup and ewer to guard
Against the turns of nights, whenever disaster struck
٤. دعوني بهذا الكاس والطاس أتقي
صروف الليالي كلما خطبها لجا
5. For in my heart from the passion of its south
And sadness from memories, and I am still broken
٥. فإن بقلبي من عفاء جنوبه
وجوماً من الذكرى وإني لها أشجى
6. They say if I drink three
Then there is no good for Jordan to hope from my ambition
٦. يقولون إني إن شربت ثلاثة
فلا خير للأردن من همتي يرجى
7. Trust that he who lets his love for his country guide him
And if he takes to wine, will not stray from the path
٧. ثقي أن من يهديه حب بلاده
وإن أدمن الصهباء لا يخطئ النهجا
