1. يا أَخا الحارِثِ إِنّي

    خارِجٌ عِندَ الرَواحِ

    O brother of al-Harith, I

    am leaving in the evening.

  2. سَوفَ يَقريكَ سَلاماً

    مَوصِلِيّاتُ الرِياحِ

    You will be offered a greeting of peace

    by the winds from Mosul.

  3. بُغضِيَ العَسكَرَ مَن

    بُغضِ مِساءِ اِبنِ صَباحِ

    My hatred of al-Askar stems from

    hatred of Ibn Sabah's evening.
