1. أَلا يا لَيتَ أَخوالي غَنِيّاً

    عَلَيهِم كُلَّما أَمسَوا دُوارُ

    Ah, would that my maternal uncles, Ghani,

    Had Duwar over them whenever evening fell,

  2. بِبِرِّ إِلَهِهِم وَيَكونُ فيهِم

    عَلى العافينَ أَيّامٌ قِصارُ

    Through their god's beneficence, and that among them

    The days were short for those seeking bounty.
