وَفِى الجِيرةِ الغادِينَ مِن بَطنِ وَجرَةٍ

وَفِى الجِيرةِ الغادِينَ مِن بَطنِ وَجرَةٍ

غُزالٌ أَحَمُّ المُقَلَتضينِ رَبيبُ

غُزالٌ أَحَمُّ المُقَلَتضينِ رَبيبُ

And among the neighbors departing in the morning from Wajrah's valley

In the ruins near the hillock

Is a tame gazelle with jet-black eyes.

A gazelle with beautiful eyes wanders

فَلاَ تَحسَبِى أَنَّ الغَرِيبَ الذِى نَأى

فَلاَ تَحسَبِى أَنَّ الغَرِيبَ الذِى نَأى

وَلكِنَّ مَن تَنأَينَ عَنهُ غَرِيبُ

وَلكِنَّ مَن تَنأَينَ عَنهُ غَرِيبُ

So do not think the stranger is the one who has gone far away;

So think not that I am the stranger who has strayed

Rather, whoever you keep your distance from is a stranger.

But he from whom I have strayed is the stranger
