1. هَاكَ قَلْبِ فَسِرْ بِهِ

    لِلحْمِىَ دُونَ سَرْبهِ

    Here, take my heart and journey with it

    to the sanctuary, before its flock.

  2. فَلَكَمْ فِي خَيَامِهِ

    مِنْ فَقِيدٍ لِقَلْبِهِ

    For how many within its tents

    are bereft of their hearts!

  3. وَتَعرَّضْ بِذَى النَّقَا

    لِلصِّبَا فيِ مَهَبِّهِ

    And at Dhu al-Naqa, expose yourself

    to the east wind where it blows.

  4. فَهْوَ نَشْرٌ مُعَطَّرٌ

    بِشَذَا نَشْرِ عُرْبِهِ

    For it is a perfumed fragrance,

    sweet with the perfume of its Arab folk.

  5. وَإِذَا مَا دَعَاكَ

    دَاعِي هَوَاهُمْ فَلَبِّهِ

    And whenever you are called

    by the herald of love for them, answer him.
