1. لا انت انت ولا انا من كانا

    حالت حقيقتنا فنحن سوانا

    You are no longer yourself, nor am I who I once was.

    Our true nature has changed; we are other than ourselves.

  2. لا انت يا لبنان تعرفني فتا

    ك ولا انا بك عارف لبنانا

    You, O Lebanon, no longer recognize me as a young man

    of yours, nor do I recognize you as Lebanon.

  3. قد غيرتنا العاديات وغيرت

    معنا محاسن ارضنا وسمانا

    Adversities have changed us, and have changed

    along with us the beauties of our land and our sky.
