وبلدةٍ قد رمتني

وبلدةٍ قد رمتني

بكل داءٍ عنادا

بكل داءٍ عنادا

And a town has afflicted me

Homeland cast me away

with every ailment, out of spite.

With every stubborn malady

ولو رجعت لأهلي

ولو رجعت لأهلي

كانت بلادي بلادا

كانت بلادي بلادا

And were I to return to my family,

And if I returned to my family

my homeland would be home.

My country would be a wasteland
