وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرْتُكَ بِالرُّبَى مِنْ لَمْطَةٍ

وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرْتُكَ بِالرُّبَى مِنْ لَمْطَةٍ

وَنَسِيمُهَا يُهْدِي إِلَيَّ أَرِيجَا

وَنَسِيمُهَا يُهْدِي إِلَيَّ أَرِيجَا

And indeed, I remembered you on the hills of Lamta,

I remembered you in the meadows by the dunes,

Indeed, I remembered you upon the hills of Lamtah,

while its breeze wafted fragrance to me.

Its breeze carried to me a sweet fragrance.

As its breeze gifted a sweet fragrance unto me,

فَاهْتَاجَ رِيحُ الشَّوْقِ بَيْنَ أَضَالِعِي

فَاهْتَاجَ رِيحُ الشَّوْقِ بَيْنَ أَضَالِعِي

يُذَكِّرُنِي لَظَى وَجْدِي فَأَجَّ أَجِيجَا

يُذَكِّرُنِي لَظَى وَجْدِي فَأَجَّ أَجِيجَا

Then the wind of longing stirred between my ribs,

The wind of longing stirred within my ribs,

Then the wind of longing stirred among my ribs,

reminding me of my passion’s fire; then it blazed with a roar.

Reminding me of the heat of my love, so I moaned mournfully.

Reminding me of the blaze of my passion, flaring into a roaring fire.
