1. يا آلَ غَسّانَ أَقوى مِنكُمُ وَطَنٌ

    تَغشى العُفاةُ بِهِ الشُبّانَ وَالشيبا

    O house of Ghassan, a homeland lies deserted without you;

    There, seekers of bounty would visit the young men and the gray-haired.

  2. تَسقونَهُم مِن حَليبِ الجَفنِ صافِيَةً

    بِبارِدٍ كَحَليبِ الجَفنِ ما شيبا

    You would give them pure wine from the milk of the vine,

    Unmixed with cool water like the milk of the eyelid.
