أَقولُ لِلصَحبِ في البَيضاءِ دونَكُم

مَحَلَّةً سَوَّدَت بَيضاءَ أَقطاري

I say to my friends, without you in Al-Bayda

A district that has blackened the whiteness of my lands

مَأَوى الفَتوَةِ لِلأَنذالِ مُذ خُلِقَت

عِندَ الكِرامِ مَحَلُّ الذُلُّ وَالعارِ

The abode of chivalry for the lowly since created

With the noble, it is the abode of disgrace and shame

كَأَنَّ ساكِنَها مِن قَعرِها أَبَداً

لَدى الخُروجِ كَمُنتاشٍ مِنَ النارِ

As if its inhabitants from its depths forever

Upon leaving, like one rescued from fire
