1. O melodies of union from the slopes of Ghuweir
The remembrance of God blessed your nights

2. And protected your white days
Though you departed from me in life's partner

3. Those were the days of my joy, alas
My heart burns, where are the days of my joy?

4. You took from me what you owed
And its nights were my suns and full moons

5. O my intimate, leave me be and go back
To bring news of prosperous Nejd, O Samir

6. And if it angers you, take refuge with me
And provoke him more with talk of Sedir

7. How good is news of the ruins of love
And a time in which it was brief

8. I never sensed from it a glimmer
Except I went with a weeping eye

9. And whenever a scent blows from its soil
A breeze that shames the breaths of amber
