يا روضَ علمٍ ويا سَحابَ ندىً

لا زِلتَ لا زِلتَ عيشَنا الرَّغدا

O garden of knowledge and O cloud of dew

You have always, you have always been our life of ease

يَتْرَى علينا نَدَى يديكَ كما

تَدافَعَ الموْجُ جال فاطّرَدا

Your hands rain dew upon us as

The waves surge and flow forth

عوّضنا اللّهُ منْ سواكَ ولا

عوّضَنا منكَ سيّداً أبدا

May God compensate us for other than you

And may we never be compensated for you, O master

أيَّ هِزَبْرٍ كانَ الهِزَبْرُ لقد

غادرَ منكَ الضَّرغامَة الأسدا

What an excellent companion was your companion

The lion left in you his courage
