ألا اسلمي يا دارُ من دارِ

تهيج أطرابي وأذكاري

O house, surrender to the one whose house you are

Be safe, O abode—what a precious abode!

Who stirs my songs and remembrances

It stirs my raptures and my memories,

وقد أُراها فأقول اسلمي

لجمع آرابي وأوطاري

When I see you, I say surrender

And whenever I behold it, I say: Be safe,

To bring together my robes and tents

For gathering my hopes and my desires.

حيَّتك عنا شمْأَلٌ سهْوةٌ

تسري إذا ما عرَّس الساري

Your greeting to us is a lamp lighting the darkness

May a gentle north wind greet you on our behalf,

That flows when the banner is raised

Traveling by night when the night-traveler rests,

تنسمتْ تسحب أذيالها

خلال جنات وأنهار

It breathes in, drawing its train

Blowing softly, dragging its trailing skirts

Through gardens and rivers

Amidst the gardens and the rivers,

كأنما نُشْرةُ أنفاسها

تصدر عن حانوت عطار

As if its breaths

As though the spreading of its fragrant breath

Emanate from a perfumer's shop

Issues forth from a perfumer's shop.
