1. يا حبذا جبل الريان من جبل

    وحبذا ساكن الريان من كانا

    Oh, what a lovely mountain is Mount al-Rayyan!

    And how lovely is the dweller of al-Rayyan, whoever he may be!

  2. وحبذا نفحات من يمانية

    تأتيك من قبل الريان أحيانا

    And how lovely are wafts from a southerly breeze,

    That come to you from the direction of al-Rayyan now and then.
