لا تَمحُ رَوعَتَهَا بذكر فعالها

لا تَمحُ رَوعَتَهَا بذكر فعالها

دعها تمرّ كما بدت بجلالها

دعها تمرّ كما بدت بجلالها

Do not erase her splendor by recalling her deeds.

Do not diminish her majesty by speaking of her deeds

Let her pass as she appeared, in her majesty.

Let her pass as she appeared in her grandeur

لا تنكرنَّ الشمس عند غروبها

لا تنكرنَّ الشمس عند غروبها

أوَ مَا نعمت بِدِفئها وظلالها

أوَ مَا نعمت بِدِفئها وظلالها

Do not disown the sun at its setting.

Do not deny the sun at the time of her setting

And did you not delight in its warmth and shade?

Or the blessings of her warmth and shade

إن كان فاتك مجدها رَأدَ الضُّحى

إن كان فاتك مجدها رَأدَ الضُّحى

فاحمد لها ما كان من آصالها

فاحمد لها ما كان من آصالها

If you missed its glory when the morning sun was high,

If her glory has eluded you at dawn

then thank it for its late afternoons gone by.

Then praise her for what she was at her prime
