يا صاحِبيَّ عَلى النَوى وَلَأَنتُما

أَخَوا هَوايَ وَحَبَّذا الأَخَوانِ

O my two companions at the place of farewell

You are brothers in passion and the best of friends

خوضا إِلى الوَطَنِ البَعيدِ جَوانِحي

إِنَّ القُلوبَ مَواطِنُ الأَوطانِ

Your yearning spirits venture to the distant homeland

For the heart is home to the spirit of man

وَلَبِثتُما عِندِي طَليقَي غُربَةٍ

وَلَفَظتُما عُلَقَ المَشُوقِ العاني

You stayed with me, untethered guests

And endured the pangs of ardent longing

أَمُوَدِّعَينِ وَلَم أُحَمِّل قُبلَةً

نَعلَيكُما تُهدى لِجِسرِ مَعانِ

I bid you farewell but did not seal it with a kiss

To place upon your feet as you cross the bridge of meaning
