ثَوى في حُفرَةِ العاناتِ يُمنٌ
تَغَلغَلَ في المَنازِلِ وَالرِباعِ
Good fortune has come to dwell in Ḥafrat al-ʿĀnāt,
spreading deep through its homes and quarters.
وَإِن تَهوَ البِقاعَ فَلَيسَ غَرواً
هَوى أَهلِ البِقاعِ هَوى البِقاعِ
Though such places be humble, it is no wonder:
to love a region’s people is to love the region.
