هَذِي رُؤُوسُ الْقِمَمِ الشِّماءِ
نَوَاهِضاً بِالْقُبَّة الزَّرْقَاءِ
These are the lofty mountain peaks
Ascending into the azure dome
نَوَاصِعُ الْعَمَائِمِ البَيْضَاءِ
رَوَائِعَ المَنَاطِقِ الْخضْرَاءِ
The towering turbans, purest white
Exquisite garments, emerald robes
يَا حُسْنَ هَذِي الرَّمْلَةِ الوَعْسَاءِ
وَهَذِهِ الأَوْدِيَةِ الْغَنَّاءِ
O beauty of the rugged sands
And valleys full of song
وَهَذِهِ المَنَازِلِ الْحَمْرَاءِ
رَاقيةْ مَعَارِجَ العَلاَءِ
And dwellings painted red
Rising to the heights sublime
وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطِ فِي البَيْدَاءِ
كَأَنَّها أَسِرَّةُ العَذْرَاءِ
And lines across the desert vast
As if a maiden's braids they traced
وَذلِكَ التَّدْبِيجِ فِي الصَّحرَاءِ
مِنْ كُلِّ رَسْمٍ بَاهِرٍ لِلرَّائي
And patterns strewn across the wild
Each image clear for eyes beguiled
وهَذِهِ الِميَاهِ فِي الصَّفاءِ
آناً وَفِي الإِزْبَادِ وَالإِرْغَاءِ
And waters pure within this place
Now stilled, now turning, undulant grace
تَنْسَابُ فِي الرَّوْضِ عَلَى الْتِوَاءِ
خَفيَّة ظَاهِرَةَ الَّلأْلاَءِ
Meandering through gardens fair
Jewels hid, jewels bare
وَنَسَمٍ قَوَاتِلٍ لِلدَّاءِ
يَشْفِينَ كُلَّ فَاقِدِ الشِّفاءِ
And winds that cure all pains
And heal the sick, grant health again
وَمَعْشَرٍ كَأنْجُمِ الْجَوْزَاءِ
يَلْتَمِسُونَ سُتْرَةَ المسَاءِ
As stars of Gemini's constellation
Seeking night's recitation
فِي مَلْعَبٍ لِلطِّيبِ وَالْهَوَاءِ
وَمَرْتَعٍ لِلنَّفسِ وَالأَهْوَاءِ
In playgrounds scented, aired
For soul and fancy flared
وَمَبْعَثٍ لِلفِكْرِ وَالذَّكَاءِ
وَمُنْتَدىً لِلشِعْرِ وَالغِنَاءِ
Wellspring of thought and intellect
For song and verse collect
يَا وَطَناً نَفْدِيهِ بِالدِّمَاءِ
وَالأَنْفُسِ الصَّادِقَةِ الْوَلاَءِ
O homeland, for which blood we shed
True souls their fealty pledge
مَا أسْعَدَ الظَّافِرَ بِاللِّقَاءِ
وَالقُرْبِ بِعْدَ الهَجْرِ وَالْجَلاَءِ
Fortunate, the one who comes
Close again, when distant roamed
إِنْ أَكْ بَاكِياً مِنَ السَّرَّاءِ
فَإِنَّ طُولَ الشَّوْقِ فِي التَّنَائِي
If I weep for bliss supreme
Yearning's ache drew tears, it seems
أَلَّفَ بَيْنَ العَيْنِ وَالْبُكَاءِ
