هَاكَ قَلْبِ فَسِرْ بِهِ

هَاكَ قَلْبِ فَسِرْ بِهِ

لِلحْمِىَ دُونَ سَرْبهِ

لِلحْمِىَ دُونَ سَرْبهِ

Take my heart, and journey with it

to the sanctuary, short of its gazelle herd.

فَلَكَمْ فِي خَيَامِهِ

فَلَكَمْ فِي خَيَامِهِ

مِنْ فَقِيدٍ لِقَلْبِهِ

مِنْ فَقِيدٍ لِقَلْبِهِ

For how many in its tents

are bereft of their hearts!

وَتَعرَّضْ بِذَى النَّقَا

وَتَعرَّضْ بِذَى النَّقَا

لِلصِّبَا فيِ مَهَبِّهِ

لِلصِّبَا فيِ مَهَبِّهِ

And at Dhu al-Naqa, open yourself

to the east wind where it blows.

فَهْوَ نَشْرٌ مُعَطَّرٌ

فَهْوَ نَشْرٌ مُعَطَّرٌ

بِشَذَا نَشْرِ عُرْبِهِ

بِشَذَا نَشْرِ عُرْبِهِ

For it is a perfumed fragrance,

with the sweet scent of its Arab folk's perfume.

وَإِذَا مَا دَعَاكَ

وَإِذَا مَا دَعَاكَ

دَاعِي هَوَاهُمْ فَلَبِّهِ

دَاعِي هَوَاهُمْ فَلَبِّهِ

And whenever you are called

by the herald of love for them, answer him.
