أرَبَّةَ بَيتِى إِن ظَفِرتِ فَشَنفي

أرَبَّةَ بَيتِى إِن ظَفِرتِ فَشَنفي

ولاَ تَسمَعِى مَن لاَمَ فِيهِ وعَنَّفَا

ولاَ تَسمَعِى مَن لاَمَ فِيهِ وعَنَّفَا

O mistress of my house, if you obtain one, adorn it with earrings.

My dwelling of four walls, rejoice if you obtain me,

And do not heed anyone who blames you for it and rebukes you.

And do not listen to him who finds fault and disparages.

فَمَن كانَ لاَ يَبغِى أَكَّافَ مُشَنَّفاً

فَمَن كانَ لاَ يَبغِى أَكَّافَ مُشَنَّفاً

فَهَا أَنَا ذَا أبغِى الأكَافَ المُشَنَّفَا

فَهَا أَنَا ذَا أبغِى الأكَافَ المُشَنَّفَا

For if anyone does not desire a pack-saddle adorned with earrings,

For he who does not desire well-built arched roofs,

here I am, desiring the pack-saddle adorned with earrings.

Behold! Here I am desiring well-built arched roofs.
