سَلامٌ فاح منهُ كُلُّ طَيبٍ

بعثت بِهِ الى ربع الحَبيبِ

A greeting whose fragrance spreads sweetness

I have sent it to the land of my beloved

عَسى ان التحيَّةَ من بَعيدٍ

تَنوب عَن التحيَّة من قَريبِ

Perhaps a greeting from afar

Can make up for a greeting that's near

وَأَنَّ تحيَّةً منكم الينا

تَجيءُ الىَّ مَع ريح الجنوبِ

And a greeting from you all to us

Will come to me with the southern wind

سَقى اللَه المَنازِل حيث كنّا

فَتلك بانسها وطن الغَريبِ

May God water the homes where we were

For they are, with their people, a stranger’s homeland

اتوق الىحماها كلَّ حينٍ

كَما اشتاق العَليل إِلى الطَبيب

I yearn for Hama at all times

As the sick yearn for the doctor

وانتظر النسيم لعلَّ فيهِ

لنا منها سلاماً في الهبوبِ

And I wait for the breeze, perhaps in it

There will be a greeting for us when it blows

عَسى بعد الفراق لنا اجتماعٌ

فتشرقَ شمسنا بعد الغروبِ

After separation, may we gather again

And our sun rise after its setting
