1. خَيْرُ الْبِلاد بأسْرِها صَنْعا

    فِيما يَرُوقُ الطَّرْفَ والسَّمْعا

    Sana'a is the finest of all lands

    in what delights the eye and the ear.

  2. قُومُوا بِنا طَالَ الْفِراقُ لَها

    قُومُوا إلىَ أَرْجائِها نَسْعَى

    Rise with us; our separation from her has been long.

    Rise; let us hasten to her reaches.
