People offer their lives for you under compulsion

People pay you respects out of obligation

on their part; I offer mine for you by choice.

While I cherish you by my own choice

وبعضهم في جوار بعضٍ

وبعضهم في جوار بعضٍ

وأنت حتى أموت جاري

وأنت حتى أموت جاري

Some of them are neighbors to others,

Some are neighbors to each other

and you are my neighbor until I die.

While you’ll be my neighbor till I die

فعش لخبزي وعش لمائي

فعش لخبزي وعش لمائي

وعش لداري وأهل داري

وعش لداري وأهل داري

So live on for my bread, and live on for my water,

So bestow grace upon my bread and water

and live on for my house and my household.

And bestow grace upon my home and family

يا من بإحسانه بلغت الس

يا من بإحسانه بلغت الس

ماء في العز واليسار

O you, through whose kindness I have reached the

O He whose kindness has allowed me to reach the skies

heavens in honor and prosperity:

In power and ease

فاليوم قارون في غناه

عبدي وكسرى ركاب داري
