أأحيا فيك يا وطني

غريب الروح والبدنِ

Do I live in the hand of a homeland,

a stranger in soul and body?

وأنت بداية الدني

لدي وآخر الزمنِ

And you are the beginning of the world

to me—and the end of time.

ورملك كان لي مهد

وفي أحضانه كفني

Your sand was a cradle for me,

and in its embrace lies my shroud.
