قومي احسني منك وداعي فما

بعدك حسناً يا ابنة القوم

Home, fairest, I must leave thee now. After thee none shall be fair, thou gem

Of thy folk! And lengthen the slumberous eyes with a last look at the past,

وزودي جفني طيف الكرى

فليس بعد اليوم من نوم

For never from sleep shall they wake again after to-day.
