أهدي إلى القرم الشريف هدية

أهدي إلى القرم الشريف هدية

عبد يود مكانها من خده

عبد يود مكانها من خده

I offer the noble chief a gift,

I gift Crimea a present

from a slave who wishes part of his cheek could take its place.

A slave who wishes in its place a cheek

ما عدّ مذ ملكت يمينك رقه

ما عدّ مذ ملكت يمينك رقه

عيباً عليه فلا سبيلَ لردّه

عيباً عليه فلا سبيلَ لردّه

For it cannot be returned, no way or streak
