حَيِّ الَّتي أَقصَى فُؤَادِك حَلَّتِ

عَلِمَت بأَنَّكَ عَاشِقٌ فَأَدلَّتِ

O fairest one whose heart has settled

In the abode where my heart dwelled,

وإِذَا رأتك تَقَلقَلَت أَحشَاؤُها

شَوقَاً إِلَيكَ فَأَكثَرَت وأّقَلَّتِِ

She knew you're lover thus she lowered her veil

And when she saw you she quivered and wailed,

وَإِذَا دَخَلَتَ فَأُغلِقَت أَبوَابُها

غَرَمَ الغيورُ حِجَابَها فَاعتَلَّتِ

When you entered and the doors were then sealed

The jealous one obscured her veil and defied

وَإِذَا خَرَجتَ بَكَت عَلَيكَ صَبَابةً

حَتَّى تَبُلَّ دُموعُها مَا بَلَّتِ

And when you exited she cried and bewailed

Until her copious tears saturated the vale

إِن كُنتَ يَا وَضَّاحُ زُرتَ فَمَرحَباً

رَحُبَت عَلَيكَ بِلادُنا وَأَظَلَّتِ

If you visited, O Waddah, welcome!

Our country has received you and sheltered.
