1. يا رب قل احتمالي

    وبان عني رميما

    O Lord, my endurance has dwindled,

    And departed from me, crumbled to dust.

  2. أحبتي خالفوني

    وخلَّفوني عديما

    My loved ones went against me,

    And left me behind, destitute.

  3. ساروا لجلق لما

    تبينوها نعيما

    They journeyed to Jilliq when

    They recognized it as bliss,

  4. وعرَّصوا في رباها ال

    لتي تزيل الهموما

    And dallied on its hills,

    Which banish cares,

  5. بغانيات تحاكي

    نهودهن النجوما

    With lovely women whose

    Breasts resemble the stars.

  6. يا ليتني كنت معْهم

    أفوز فوزاً عظيما

    Oh, if only I were with them,

    To win a mighty triumph.
