1. O Lebanon's beloved, may you live long
And may the clouds water your soil

2. O abode of intimacy, O land of serenity
O gardens of immortality, what a sublime place

3. How great is Lebanon with its forests
How great are those plains and summits

4. How great is its fragrant breeze
That revives souls and even heals illness

5. And the murmur of water in those hills
Is like the yearning of an enamored lover

6. How great is its spring that has depicted
An exhibition of flowers beaming with smiles

7. Having spread flowers in its expanse
Among roses, blossoms, and oleander

8. And the freshness of water in those eyes
Makes an old man seem younger than a lad

9. And you see the birds in those hills
Among sparrows, falcons, and doves

10. Swimming above branches of saplings
Among the rhythm of turtledoves' coos

11. What a delightful scene it encompassed
However it pleased, in the finest array

12. O morning breeze, convey my greetings
From a lover enthralled with homelands

13. You are to me, O best of lands, a paradise
That gathered all joy and peace

14. How great were the days of intimacy in you, O
My beloved homeland, they have passed like a dream

15. Remembering them has often stirred in me
A yearning that kindles a blaze in my heart

16. O may God water the bygone times
Among your eminent and generous people

17. They are the people of merit, lords of refuge
And foremost in morals, masters of glory

18. So my memory of you is eternal
And my affection for them is everlasting
