أأحيا فيك يا وطني

أأحيا فيك يا وطني

غريب الروح والبدنِ

غريب الروح والبدنِ

Do I live in the hand of a homeland,

Do I live in you, O my homeland,

a stranger in soul and body?

a stranger in spirit and body?

وأنت بداية الدني

وأنت بداية الدني

لدي وآخر الزمنِ

لدي وآخر الزمنِ

And you are the beginning of the world

Yet you are the beginning of the world

to me—and the end of time.

to me, and the end of time.

ورملك كان لي مهد

ورملك كان لي مهد

وفي أحضانه كفني

وفي أحضانه كفني

Your sand was a cradle for me,

And your sand was my cradle,

and in its embrace lies my shroud.

and in its embrace is my shroud.
