1. The Lord has adorned Hama with His grace,
So that Damascus envies its empowerment.
١. قَدْ جمَّلَ المولى حماةَ بفضلِهِ
فدمشقُ تحسدُها على تمكينها
2. It smiled, and I was captivated by the smile of its lips,
So I kissed its mouth, grasping its horns.
٢. بسمَتْ فأعجبني تبسُّم ثغرِها
فلثمتُ فاها آخذاً بقرونِها
