يا مَن تَوَلَّهُ بِالحَبيـ

ـبِ هُناكَ قَد رَجَعَ الحَبيبُ

O you whom love has diverted there

The beloved has now returned

لَقَد اِنتَظَرتُ إِيابَهُ

شَوقاً فَها هُوَذا يَؤوبُ

I awaited his return yearningly

And here he is, coming back

في جَيبِهِ لُعبُ الهَوى

يَلهو بِها الصَبُّ اللَعوبُ

In his pocket are the toys of passion

With which the youth plays lightheartedly

لَكَ في حَقيبَتِهِ نَصيبٌ

فاخِرٌ بِئسَ النَصيبُ

For you, in his bag there is a share

Miserable is that share

فَلنَنتَظِر غَداً الكَرا

سي ساكِتاً وَغَداً قَريبُ

Let's wait for tomorrow silently

And tomorrow is near

يا شَعبُ يا مِسكينُ لَم

تُنكَب بِنَكبَتِكَ الشُعوبُ

O my poor people, why

Have nations stumbled by your stumbling

قَلَّدتَ أَمرُكَ مَن بِهِم

لا يَرجِعُ الحَقُّ الغَصيبُ

You have entrusted your affairs to those

Who will not bring back what is rightfully taken

لَهفي عَلَيكَ أَلا تَرى

يا شَعبُ حَولَكَ ما يُريب

My anxiety for you - can't you see

My people, what is looming around you
