وَفي الجيرَةِ الغادينَ مِن بَطنِ وَجرَةٍ

وَفي الجيرَةِ الغادينَ مِن بَطنِ وَجرَةٍ

غَزالٌ غَضيضُ المُقلَتينِ رَبيبُ

غَزالٌ غَضيضُ المُقلَتينِ رَبيبُ

And among the neighbors departing in the morning from the valley of Wajra

In the deserted neighborhood of Wajrah's valley

is a hand-reared gazelle with downcast eyes.

A tender-eyed gazelle, so very young

فَلا تَحسَبي أَنَّ الغَريبَ الَّذي نَأى

فَلا تَحسَبي أَنَّ الغَريبَ الَّذي نَأى

وَلَكِنَّ مَن تَنأَينَ عَنهُ غَريبُ

وَلَكِنَّ مَن تَنأَينَ عَنهُ غَريبُ

So do not think the stranger is the one who has gone far away;

Do not think that the stranger is the one who turned away

rather, the one you draw away from is the stranger.

But the one whom you have abandoned is the stranger
