The hawaf is delicious, and sweet is the scent of its roast.
The coast is pleasant, and pleasant the breeze of Shawah
Among Qatif's fish, none tastes good but it.
Nothing compares to its fish, nothing else

فإذا دعا داعي الجواف وطفله

في حجره شوقاً إليه رماه
So when the jawaf-seller calls, even with his child
So when the young caller calls out, longing for it
in his lap, he flings him aside, yearning for it.
In his lap a babe he holds, thrown towards it
