غَدا في الجيرَةِ الغادينَ لُبّي

غَدا في الجيرَةِ الغادينَ لُبّي

جَميعاً ثُمَّ راجَعَني وَثابا

جَميعاً ثُمَّ راجَعَني وَثابا

My mind went with the neighbors departing in the morning,

Tomorrow among the bygone youth in the village

All of it—then came bounding back to me.

They all returned to me and settled down

لَئِن فارَقتُهُم وَبَقيتُ حَيّاً

لَئِن فارَقتُهُم وَبَقيتُ حَيّاً

لَقَد فارَقتُ بَعدَهُمُ الشَبابا

لَقَد فارَقتُ بَعدَهُمُ الشَبابا

If indeed I parted from them and remained alive,

If I were to leave them and live on

I have surely parted from youth after them.

I would have left behind me my youth after them
