لَوْلاَ حُلُولِي بِذُرَى لَمْطَهْ

لَمْ يُبْدِ لِي فَجْرُ الْمُنَى خَيْطَهْ

Had I not settled in the abode of dignity

Had I not alighted upon the peaks of Lamta,

The dawn of wishes would not have shown me its thread.

the dawn of my hopes would not have revealed to me its thread.

بَدَتْ عَرُوسُ الأُنْسِ فِي بَهْجَةٍ

كَالدُّرِّ إِذْ تَبْرُزُ فِي الرِّيطَهْ

The bride of intimacy appeared in splendor

The bride of joyful intimacy appeared in radiant splendor,

Like a pearl when it emerges from its shell.

like a pearl as it emerges from a delicate veil.

وَهَبَّتِ الآمَالُ عَاطِرَةً

كَالزَّهْرِ إِذْ يَنْفَحُ فِي الْغُوطَهْ

And hopes blew fragrantly

And hopes stirred like a fragrant breeze,

Like flowers when they diffuse their scent in the valleys.

like blossoms exhaling their perfume in the Ghouta.
