يا زائِراً جَنَباتِ الشامِ مُعتَبِراً

أَحرِم فَأَنتَ بِحَجزٍ غَيرِ مَحجورِ

O traveler to the lands of al-Sham with purpose,

Pledge allegiance, for you are in protected lands unrestricted,

فَما بِها بَلَدٌ لَم يَغشَهُ بَدَلٌ

أَو مُرسَلٌ بِكِتابِ غَيرِ مَهجورِ

No other country has been dressed with such grace,

Or sent a book so eloquently expressed,

مَثوى النُبُوَّةِ وَالآياتِ مُعجِزَةٌ

وَالنورِ يُشرِقُ مِنهُ كَلُّ ديجورِ

The dwelling of prophethood and miraculous signs,

From it shines every gleam of light as it pours.
