بُحور نَدا يَمينك في اِزدياد

وَغَيرَك مِن مِياه المَجد صادي

Roses called your right hand is increasing

While other than you from the waters of glory hunt

وَلَولا أَن دارَك في دِمَشق

لَما اِفتَخَرَت دِمَشق عَلى البِلاد

And were it not for your house being in Damascus

Damascus would not have boasted over the countries
