لي وطن تيمني حبه

لي وطن تيمني حبه

وهو لعمر الحق نعم الحبيب

وهو لعمر الحق نعم الحبيب

I have a homeland whose love has enthralled me;

I have a homeland; love for it has enthralled me.

I have a beloved homeland

and, by the life of Truth, how excellent a beloved it is!

And, by the life of the Truth, what a fine beloved it is!

Indeed, it is the dearest beloved

نقضي لبانات الهوى بيننا

نقضي لبانات الهوى بيننا

وما نبالي لحظات الرقيب

وما نبالي لحظات الرقيب

Between us, we fulfill the longings of love,

We fulfill love’s desires between us,

We spend the nights of passion between us

heedless of the watcher's glances.

And we heed not the watcher’s glances.

And we care not for the watch of the sentinel
