لَبِسْتُ الْآنَ قُبَّعَةً بَعِيدًا

لَبِسْتُ الْآنَ قُبَّعَةً بَعِيدًا

عَنِ الْأَوْطَانِ، مُعْتَادَ الشُّجُونِ

عَنِ الْأَوْطَانِ، مُعْتَادَ الشُّجُونِ

I have now donned a hat, far away

Now I wear a hat away from homelands, accustomed to sorrows

From my homeland, accustomed to sorrows.

If it has changed my appearance, when I take off the turban, you will recognize me

فَإِنْ هِيَ غَيَّرَتْ شَكْلِي فَإِنِّي

فَإِنْ هِيَ غَيَّرَتْ شَكْلِي فَإِنِّي

«مَتَى أَضَعِ الْعِمَامَةَ تَعْرِفُونِي»

«مَتَى أَضَعِ الْعِمَامَةَ تَعْرِفُونِي»

And if it has changed my appearance, then as for me:

“Whenever I put on the turban, you will recognize me.”
