1. يا لَكِ مِن قُبَّرَةٍ بِمَعمَرِ

    خَلا لَكِ الجَوَّ فَبيضي وَاِصفِري

    O lark at Maʿmar!

    The open air is yours, so lay your eggs and whistle.

  2. قَد رُفِعَ الفَخُّ فَماذا تَحذَري

    وَنَقِّري ما شِئتِ أَن تُنَقَّري

    The trap has been lifted, so what do you fear?

    And peck whatever you wish to peck.

  3. قَد ذَهَبَ الصَيّادُ عَنكِ فَاِبشِري

    لا بُدَّ يَوماً أَن تُصادي فَاِصبِري

    The hunter has gone away from you, so rejoice.

    You are bound to be caught one day, so be patient.
