1. O slopes of Lebanon, my heart
Is your neighbor, and a neighbor does no wrong

2. It flew with yearning for the beloved
Like bees to flowers and fragrances

3. So protect it from eyes
That are hunters of hearts

4. With arrows of eyelashes
That strike hearts melting them

5. As if they were arrows of fate
None can escape when they aim

6. But they are enamored with youth
So they chase after his demise

7. They have a house of war against peace
If you make peace, they revolt

8. And who can possibly
Match them or make truce?

9. Or who foolishly tries
To contend or resist them?

10. Who thinks that is easy
Will falter facing the clash

11. There is agony, what agony!
Your life spins with troubles

12. Hard it is to see any hard thing
Seem easy for you
