سِرْ عَن بلادِهِمُ فقد سَئِمَتْ بها

عيسي مُحُولَ مُعرَّسي ومُناخي

Travel away from their lands, for she became weary of them,

Jesus is shabby, well-equipped and docile,

ودَعِ الأماني إنّها غَرّارةٌ

ووعودُها للطّامعينَ أَواخي

Leave fantasies alone, for they are deceptive,

And their promises to the ambitious are delusions,

ما عِندَها للوارِدين سَرَابَها

غيرُ المِطالِ بمَوعِدٍ مُتراخي

She has nothing for those who come to her but mirages,

Except hopes, with missed deadlines, deferred.
