1. إِنّا لَنَرْحَلُ والأَهْواءُ أَجْمَعُها

    لَدَيْكَ مُسْتَوْطِناتٌ لَيْسَ تَرْتَحِلُ

    We do indeed depart, while all our affections

    remain settled with you, never departing.

  2. لَهُنَّ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ الرَّوْضُ الأَرْيَضُ ومِنْ

    نَدَاكَ يَغْمُرُهُنَّ العارِضُ الهَطِلُ

    They have in your character a lush meadow, and from

    your bounty a rain cloud drenches them in a downpour.

  3. لكُنْ كُلُّ فَقيرٍ يَسْتَفيدُ غِنىً

    دَعاهُ شَوْقٌ إِلى أَوْطانِهِ عَجِلُ

    But every poor man who acquires wealth

    is called to his native lands by urgent longing.

  4. وكُلُّ غازٍ إِذا جُلَّتْ غَنيمَتُهُ

    فَإِنَّ آَثَرَ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ القَفَلُ

    And every raider, when his spoils grow plentiful,

    holds nothing dearer than the journey home.
