1. Erase the kohl from the eyelids in the eye
And erase the redness of the cheeks kissed

2. I do not wish eyelids with kohl
I only recite the redness of shyness

3. My soul does not want anything but purity
Like tears of the heart in the bottle of poetry

4. O daughter of Lebanon, O light of my darkness
Be my life walking between my bones

5. And in my eyes a mirror in which I see you
And in my heart a consolation for my pain

6. You are a symbol of my inspiration and imagination
I saw it from the burning of my love and dreams

7. O daughter of Lebanon, be part of my being
And walk with me in this life hand in hand

8. Yesterday you were a girl playing with her friends
But you have grown up and today is not like yesterday

9. You are a sister sympathizing with life tomorrow
And you are a mother to this universe the day after tomorrow.

10. O daughter of Lebanon, daughter of glory and prestige
O gazelle that frolicked in the gardens

11. Take your redness from the flowers of the meadows, for in
The meadows are the flowers of the purity of the other world

12. And line your eyes with literature and take pride
That your kohl is from the gardens of Lebanon

13. Leave others selling their lips for gold
For the lips were not meant to harvest money or goods

14. And striking mouths was never of any worth
So do not sell passion for that kind of money

15. You were known to be pure so persist
Do not exchange the good for thorns and firewood

16. O daughter of Lebanon, your name is sublime
For flowers reap their fragrance from your traits

17. You are the daughter of inherited generosity
Where gazelles take refuge, there lies your dwelling

18. So if the unfortunate comes crying to you
Throw Lazarus something of your gifts

19. On a dark night, when worries escaped my eye
I went out to wander with two friends

20. I smelled the star of darkness gathering loosely
And two stars walking together

21. And two clouds which the full moon peered through
Like a jewel between two breasts

22. I said, as my soul strode ahead with hope
Alliance is the foundation of seriousness and action

23. For in women there are lessons we are enlightened by
Women are the lives of men's hearts

24. When she shines and shakes his hand in alliance
The blood of strength flows in the veins of nations
