1. The songs are sweet where there is water and grass
And flocks of birds captivate hearts

2. But now that the garden has withered and the dew has dried
The spring has hidden and the vines and grapes died

3. How can you sing sadly above the nest
When there is nothing in the nest that inspires melody

4. The breezes of the countryside have turned into storms
Their tempest fueled by the heat of malice

5. They came upon everything as they had planned
Its victim is the woodcutter and the wood

6. They care not for a homeland whose youth
Perish by their hands, nor for goals and purpose

7. Until when their poet fled, disheartened
To meadows where goodness can be gained

8. Dubai, oasis of goodness your shade has spread
Where love and literature come together

9. Dubai, home of the free from the beginning
And balm for wounds however hurt they be

10. You have become the tie that binds the necklace
Whose beads are a generation of high rank

11. And your Lord protected you from the malice of a group
For whom treachery is not considered strange

12. Rest your feet and enjoy its expanse
For in the hearts of its people lies the vast plain

13. When adorned with the children of Maktum its pride swells
As the crown is embellished with pearls and gold
