1. خَوارِزمُ عِندِيَ خَيرُ البِلادِ

    فَلا أَقلَعَت سحبُها المُغدِقَه

    Khwarazm, to me, is the best of lands.

    So may its bountiful clouds never cease raining!

  2. فُطوبى لِوَجهِ اِمريءٍ صَبَّحَتـ

    ـهُ أَوجُهُ فِتيانِها المُشرِقَه

    Blessed, then, is the face of a man greeted in the morning

    by the radiant faces of its young men.

  3. وَما إِن نَقِمتُ بِها حالَةً

    سِوى أَن أَقامَت بِها مُقلقَه

    And I found no fault with any condition there,

    Except that a source of disquiet had settled there.
