بِاللَهِ يَمِّم يا نَسيمَ الصَبا

بِاللَهِ يَمِّم يا نَسيمَ الصَبا

بمصرَ عنّي دارَ اكسندَرَه

بمصرَ عنّي دارَ اكسندَرَه

By God, O breeze of the east, make your way

By Allah, O passing breeze of the morn

to Alexandra’s home in Egypt, on my behalf.

To Egypt bear for me the plea I send

وَحَيِّها بينَ المَها إن بدَت

وَحَيِّها بينَ المَها إن بدَت

في سِربِها مُقبِلَةً مُدبِرَه

في سِربِها مُقبِلَةً مُدبِرَه

And greet her among the oryx, if she appears

And give her greetings if she should appear

amid her herd, coming and going.

Amidst her throng with face to thee or averted

واذكُر لها ما بَينَنا علَّها

واذكُر لها ما بَينَنا علَّها

يا عاطِرَ الأَنفاسِ أَن تَذكُرَه

يا عاطِرَ الأَنفاسِ أَن تَذكُرَه

And mention to her what lies between us; perhaps she,

Remind her of what was between us that perchance

O fragrant-breathed breeze, will remember it.

My sweet scented one, she may remember me
