1. أَمسى الفُؤادُ بِهَذا المِصرِ مُرتَهَنا

    فَما أُريدُ لِنَفسي غَيرَهُ وَطَنا

    The heart has become captive in this city.

    So I desire no homeland for myself but it.

  2. دَعِ الحِجازَ وَمَن أَمسى يَحُلُّ بِهِ

    إِنَّ الفُؤادَ بِأَهلِ الغَورِ قَد فُتِنا

    Leave the Hijaz and whoever has come to dwell there.

    Indeed, the heart has been captivated by the people of al-Ghawr.
