أيا أرضَ الشمالِ فدتكِ نفسي

وأُصغِرُ أنْ أقولَ فداكِ مالي

Oh land of the north, my soul I sacrifice for you

And I think it too small to say my wealth I sacrifice

وقالوا مِلْ إلى جهةٍ سواها

فقلتُ القلبُ في جهةِ الشمالِ

And they said why not to a direction other than it

So I said, the heart is in the direction of the north
