1. فِي أرض نجد منزلُ الفؤادِ

    عَمَرْتُه شوقي وصدقَ ودادي

    In the land of Najd lies the heart's dwelling.

    I filled it with my longing and sincere affection.

  2. مَا كَانَ أقرَبَهُ عَلَى مَنْ رَامَهُ

    بِمَسرَّة لولا اعتراضُ عَوادي

    How near it would have been to whoever sought it

    With joy, had calamities not stood in the way!

  3. أصبو إِلَيْهِ مع الزمان فكيف لا

    أصبو وتلك منازلي وبِلادي

    I yearn for it as time passes—how could I not

    Yearn, when those are my dwellings and my homeland?

  4. أرض بِهَا الشرفُ الرفيعُ وغاية ال

    عز المنيع ومسْكَنُ الأَجوادِ

    A land of lofty honor and the pinnacle of

    Unassailable glory, and the abode of the generous.

  5. أوطِنْتُها فَخَرجْتُ منها عَنْوَةً

    بمكائد الأعداء والحُسَّاد

    I made it my home, then left it against my will,

    Through the schemes of enemies and the envious.
