1. هذه بَسمتي وهَذي دُموعي

    ورَحيلي وغُرْبَتي ورُجوعي

    This is my smile, and these are my tears,

    And my departure, my exile, and my return,

  2. وأغاني الصِّبا ولَحْنُ المراعي

    ونَشيجي المَوَّارُ بينَ الضُّلُوعِ

    And the songs of youth and the melody of the pastures,

    And my sobbing, surging between the ribs,

  3. وذُنوبي وتَوبتي وعُيوبي

    وابتهالي وسَجْدَتي وركوعي

    And my sins, my repentance, and my flaws,

    And my supplication, my prostration, and my bowing,

  4. وهُتافي على الرُّبا والفَيافي

    ونَشِيدي وعِزَّتي وخضوعي

    And my cry upon the hills and the desert expanses,

    And my song, my pride, and my submission.

  5. فاقرؤوني على براءةِ طفلٍ

    واعزِفوني عندَ التقاءِ الجُموعِ

    So read me with the innocence of a child,

    And play me when the crowds meet.
