وَأَنتِ التي حَبَّبتِ شَغبي إِلى بَدا

إِلَيَّ وَأَوطاني بِلادٌ سِواهُما

You are the one who made my mischief dear to the wilderness

And to me my homelands are no lands but them

وَحَلَّت بِهَذا حَلَّةً ثُمَّ أَصبَحَت

بِأُخرى فَطابَ الوادِيان كِلاهُما

It dawned in this guise then in another

So the two valleys were pleasant each

إِذا ذَرَفَت عَينايَ أَعتَلُّ بالقَذى

وَعَزَّةُ لَو يَدري الطَبيبُ قَذاهُما

When my eyes shed tears I feign having an eye disease

Though dignity, if the doctor knew the cause of them

فَلَو تُذرِيانِ الدَمعَ مُنذُ استَهَلَّتا

عَلى إِثرِ جازي نِعمَةٍ لَجَزاهُما

If only they would shed tears since they first started

In return for one who rewarded kindness, I would reward them
