لَئِن جَمَعَتنا غَدوَةً أَرضُ بالِسٍ

لَئِن جَمَعَتنا غَدوَةً أَرضُ بالِسٍ

فَإِنَّ لَها عِندي يَداً لا أُضيعُها

فَإِنَّ لَها عِندي يَداً لا أُضيعُها

If indeed the land of Balis brought us together one morning,

If the land of Paris brings us together one morning

then it has done me a kindness I shall not forget.

Then for me it has a hand I will not let go

أَحَبُّ بِلادِ اللَهِ أَرضٌ تَحُلُّها

أَحَبُّ بِلادِ اللَهِ أَرضٌ تَحُلُّها

إِلَيَّ وَدارٌ تَحتَويكَ رُبوعُها

إِلَيَّ وَدارٌ تَحتَويكَ رُبوعُها

Of all God's lands, a land you dwell in is dearest

I love the lands of God, a land that beholds you

to me, and a home whose quarters enfold you.

And a house that contains your plains

أَفي كُلِّ يَومٍ رِحلَةٌ بَعدَ رِحلَةٍ

أَفي كُلِّ يَومٍ رِحلَةٌ بَعدَ رِحلَةٍ

تَجَرَّعُ نَفسي حَسرَةً وَتَروعُها

تَجَرَّعُ نَفسي حَسرَةً وَتَروعُها

Is there every day a departure after a departure,

Must I in every day take a trip after a trip

making my soul swallow anguish and terrifying it?

That makes my soul suffer and frightens it

فَلي أَبَداً قَلبٌ كَثيرٌ نِزاعُهُ

فَلي أَبَداً قَلبٌ كَثيرٌ نِزاعُهُ

وَلي أَبَداً نَفسٌ قَليلٌ نُزوعُها

وَلي أَبَداً نَفسٌ قَليلٌ نُزوعُها

So I always have a heart whose longing is great,

So for me forever a heart that is very troubled

and I always have a soul that seldom turns away.

And for me forever a soul that has little inclination

لَحى اللَهُ قَلباً لايَهيمُ صَبابَةً

لَحى اللَهُ قَلباً لايَهيمُ صَبابَةً

إِلَيكَ وَعَيناً لاتَفيضُ دُموعُها

إِلَيكَ وَعَيناً لاتَفيضُ دُموعُها

May God curse a heart that is not mad with longing

May God protect a heart that does not yearn intensely

for you, and an eye whose tears do not overflow.

To you and eyes that do not overflow with tears
