يا خيرتي من أهل ودّي ومن ناسي

يا خيرتي من أهل ودّي ومن ناسي

لا تحسبوني لعهد ودادكم ناسي

لا تحسبوني لعهد ودادكم ناسي

O my chosen ones among those I love and among my people,

O my beloved people, you whom I cherish,

Do not think me forgetful of the pledge of your affection.

Do not think I have forgotten our bond of affection,

لو لم يحل طود صدٍّ دونكم راسي

لو لم يحل طود صدٍّ دونكم راسي

أتيتكم كالقدم أسعى على راسي

أتيتكم كالقدم أسعى على راسي

Had a firmly rooted mountain of rejection not stood between me and you,

If lofty mountains had not prevented me,

I would have come to you, hastening on my head as if it were a foot.

I would have come to you running on my head.
