يَا مَنْ عَشَاؤُهُمُ شَفَى

يَا مَنْ عَشَاؤُهُمُ شَفَى

مَرَارَتِي وَالكَبِدَا

مَرَارَتِي وَالكَبِدَا

O you whose supper healed

O you whose dinner cured

My gallbladder and liver,

my bitterness and my liver!

نَهَضْتُ فِي الصُّبْحِ معَافى

نَهَضْتُ فِي الصُّبْحِ معَافى

وَزَرَعْتُ البَلَدَا

وَزَرَعْتُ البَلَدَا

I rose in the morning restored to health,

I rose in the morning healed

And sowed the land,

and sowed the land

كَالبَطَلِ المعْتَزِّ بِالقُوةِ

كَالبَطَلِ المعْتَزِّ بِالقُوةِ

يَمْشِي صَيِّدَا

يَمْشِي صَيِّدَا

Like a hero proud of his strength,

like a hero proud of his strength

Who walks with head held high.

walks hunting

طَلَبْتُ نَداً غَيْرَ أَنِّي

طَلَبْتُ نَداً غَيْرَ أَنِّي

مَا وَجَدْتُ أَسدَا

مَا وَجَدْتُ أَسدَا

I sought a rival, but I

I sought prey but alas

Found no lion.

I did not find a lion.
