كما عند حبٍ حلّ في مجدل الشمسِ
You see, among loved ones in Lebanon, they sealed it,
Do my beloved ones in Lebanon yearn
As with a beloved who settled in Majdal al-Shams:
As a love once shone in Magdal Shams?
غرامٌpassion وأشواقٌand longings وذكرىand memories معاهدٍfamiliar haunts
غرامٌ وأشواقٌ وذكرى معاهدٍ
يهيمis enraptured بهاby them قلبيmy heart وتصبوand yearns لهاfor them نفسيmy soul
يهيم بها قلبي وتصبو لها نفسي
Passion, longings, and memories of familiar haunts—
Passion and longing and memories of vows
My heart is enraptured by them, and my soul yearns for them.
That make my heart rave and my soul aspire
