إلىto حلبٍAleppo رمتI sought السرىnight travel بعدafter بُعدكمyour departure
إلى حلبٍ رمت السرى بعد بُعدكم
فعارضنيbut it thwarted me أيضاًtoo زمانtime بعائقwith an obstacle
فعارضني أيضاً زمان بعائق
I sought to journey by night to Aleppo after your departure.
To Aleppo the nights have stretched after your absence
But time, too, thwarted me with an obstacle.
So time opposed me with obstacles
فياso, oh ليتنيif only I للمرجto the meadow دبقاًlike birdlime لزمتكمI clung to you
فيا ليتني للمرج دبقاً لزمتكم
وإنand if حلبٌAleppo فاتتwas missed فقلthen say مرجMarj (meadow) دابقDabiq
وإن حلبٌ فاتت فقل مرج دابق
Ah, if only I had clung to you like birdlime on the way to the meadow!
Oh, would that I were a leech stuck to you all
And if Aleppo eludes me, then say: Marj Dabiq.
And if Aleppo is lost, just say Marsh Dabaq
