Be gentle; you have avoided cursing, deviated from righteousness.

تحية حب

1. Be gentle; you have avoided cursing, deviated from righteousness.
One like me should not be met with rejection.

١. تَمَهَّلْ أَبَيْتَ اللَّعْنَ جُرْتَ عَنِ القَصْدِ
فَلَيْسَ لِمِثْلِي أَنْ تُقَابَلَ بِالصَّدِّ

2. Your country - if it is rightly guided, then so is mine,
It is my clan and loved ones and the most precious to me.

٢. بِلاَدُكَ إِنْ تَرْشُدْ بِلاَدِي وَإِنَّهَا
عَشِيرِي وَأَحْبَابِي وَأَنْفَسُ مَا عِنْدِي

3. My passion for it - I have never wavered in my love,
And it is beneath me that one like me would break a pact.

٣. هَوَايَ بِهَا ، مَا حِدْتُ عَنْ عَهْدِ حُبِّهَا
وَحَاشَا لِمِثْلِي أَنْ تَحِيدَ عَنِ العَهْدِ

4. How could I when it has captured all of my being?
Indeed, my passion for it is more than what I express.

٤. وَكَيْفَ وَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُهَا كُلَّ مُهْجَتِي؟
وَإنِّي لأُخْفِي في الهَوَى فَوْقَ مَا أُبْدِي

5. My passion for it - I have consecrated all my essence
To every part of Arabness that stretches out endlessly.

٥. هَوَايَ بِهَا ، إنِّي نَذَرْتُ جَوَانِحِي
إِلَى كُلِّ شِبْرٍ في العُرُوبَةِ مُمْتدِّ

6.
To you, to the desert, to the sand, to the meadows

٦. إِلَيْكُمْ ، إِلَى الصَّحْرِاءِ ، لِلرَّمْلِ ، لِلرُّبَى
لِمَوْجِ الخَلِيجِ الثَّرِّ ، لِلرَّوْحِ مِنْ نَجْدِ

7. To the tumultuous waves of the gulf, to the spirit of Najd
To Mecca, to Al-Batha, to the valley of Mina

٧. لِمَكَّةَ ، لِلْبَطْحَاءِ ، لِلْخيفِ مِنْ مِنَىً
لِسَيْنَاءَ ، لِلجَوْلاَنِ ، لِلْقُدسِ ، لِلْخُلْدِ

8. To Sinai, to Golan, to Al-Quds, to eternity
To every vein of Arabness that pulsates

٨. إِلَى كُلِّ عِرْقٍ في العُرُوبَةِ نَابِضٍ
وَكُلِّ فُؤَادٍ يَذْكُرُ اللهَ بِالحَمْدِ

9. And every heart that praises God in gratitude
To Tunisia, or to Algeria, to the passion

٩. إِلَى تُونِسٍ ، أَوْ لِلجَزَائِرِ ، لِلْهَوَى
بِمَغْرِبِنَا الأَقْصَى القَرِيبِ عَلَى البُعْدِ

10. For our Morocco, so near though so far

١٠. يَمِينَاً لَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ حُبَّ زَاهِدٍ
وَأَعْنَفُ أَهْوَاءِ المُحِبِّينَ في الزَّهْدِ

11. I swear I have loved you with the love of an ascetic
And I am fiercer in love than lovers in their detachment

١١. وَمْنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَرْجُو الشَّهَادَةَ في الهَوَى
فَلِلّهِ مَا يَلْقَى الأَخِلاّءُ في الوُدِّ !

12. And for your sake I hope for martyrdom in passion
So what do intimates encounter in affection!

١٢. لِئَنْ كَانَ في بَغْدَادَ مَهْدِي فَإِنَّنِي
أَرَى أَهْلَكُمْ أَهْلِي وَمَهْدَكُمُ مَهْدِي

13.
If there is a Mahdi in Baghdad, then surely

١٣. "وَهَلْ أَنَا إلاّ مِنْ غَزِيَّةَ إِنْ غَوَتْ
غَوَيْتُ وَإِنْ تَرْشُدْ فَفِي رُشْدِهَا رُشْدِي"

14. I see your people as my people and your home as mine
"Am I not from Ghaziyya? If it strays, I stray

١٤. يَمِينَاً لَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ حُبَّ وَالِهٍ
يُفَدِّيكُمُ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالمَالِ وَالوِلْدِ

15. And if it is guided, then so am I guided”
I swear I have loved you with a lover's love

١٥. وَهَلْ بَعْدَ بَذْلِ النَّفْسِ في الحُبِّ غَايَةٌ
وَهَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ في الحُبِّ بَعْضُ الذِي عِنْدِي؟

16. Who would sacrifice himself, wealth and children for you
And after sacrificing one’s soul in love, is there an end?

١٦. يَمِينَاً لَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ حُبَّ رَاهِبٍ
يَرَى غَيْرَ حُبِّ اللهِ في اللهِ لاَ يُجْدِي

17. And do you have a fraction of what I have in love?
I swear I have loved you with a hermit's love

١٧. وَهَلْ بَعْدَ هَذا الحُبِّ في الحُبِّ غَايَةٌ
وَهَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ بِاللهِ بَعْضُ الذِي عِنْدِي؟
