أَلا مُبلِغٌ أَهلَ العَقيقِ سَلامي
وَذاكِرُ وَجدي عِندَهُم وَغَرامي
O messenger, convey my greetings to the people of Al-Aqiq
And speak of my love and passion in their midst
وَمُخبِرهُم أَنِّي وإِن شَطَّتِ النَّوى
مُقيمٌ على عَهدٍ لَهُم وَذِمامش
Tell them though fate parts us, I remain
True to my pact and promise with them
أَشيمُ سَنا برقِ العَقيقِ إذا بَدا
مَعَ الصبُّحِ من طَلحِ لَهُم وَثُمامِ
I yearn at dawn to see Al-Aqiq's hills light up
With their morning glow and fragrant breeze
وأَسأَلُ خَفَّاقَ النَّسيمِ أَهَل بِهِ
حَديثٌ يُرَوِّي غُلَّتي وَأُوامي
And ask the passing wind to carry
Words to soothe my longing and pain
وَأَصبوا إِليَهم عِندضما تهتفُ الصبَّا
سُحيراً وأنواءُ والجُفونِ هَوامي
Each dusk, as the breeze blows, I turn towards them
Dreaming, though my eyes succumb to slumber
وما ذاكَ إلاَّ أنَّ سُكَّانَهُ غداً
لَهُم في صمَيمِ القَلبِ دارُ مُقَامِ
For in my heart they'll forever remain
At its very core, where they've made their home
