خَوارِزمُ عِندِيَ خَيرُ البِلادِ

فَلا أَقلَعَت سحبُها المُغدِقَه

When the clouds pouring down rain cease

فُطوبى لِوَجهِ اِمريءٍ صَبَّحَتـ

Blessed is the face of a man brightened

By the shining faces of its youth

وَما إِن نَقِمتُ بِها حالَةً

سِوى أَن أَقامَت بِها مُقلقَه

The only grievance I have with it
