غَدا في الجيرَةِ الغادينَ لُبّي

جَميعاً ثُمَّ راجَعَني وَثابا

Tomorrow among the bygone youth in the village

They all returned to me and settled down

لَئِن فارَقتُهُم وَبَقيتُ حَيّاً

لَقَد فارَقتُ بَعدَهُمُ الشَبابا

If I were to leave them and live on

I would have left behind me my youth after them
