من الإماراتِ عنْ شطآنِ شارقةٍ

From the Emirates, from the shores of Sharjah,

From the Emirates, from the coasts of Sharjah

On the Gulf, a moon rose high.

On the Gulf, the moon is rising

يدورُ في فلكِ الآدابِ محورهُ

يدورُ في فلكِ الآدابِ محورهُ

فتى عويسٍ وأخدانٌ له غُررُ

فتى عويسٍ وأخدانٌ له غُررُ

It revolves in the orbit of letters; its axis is

Revolving in the orbit of literature is its axis

The youth of Owais and his illustrious companions.

A young man of Uwais, and cheeks that have embers

سمرُ الوجوهِ مصابيحٌ يطيبُ بهم

سمرُ الوجوهِ مصابيحٌ يطيبُ بهم

وبالذي شيَّدوا من وحدةٍ سمرُ

وبالذي شيَّدوا من وحدةٍ سمرُ

Dark-faced, they are lamps; made sweet by them

Brown complexions are lanterns that please with them

And by the unity they built is evening conversation.

And with what they built of unity is brown

يستذكرونَ ذوي الألباب صفوتها

يستذكرونَ ذوي الألباب صفوتها

فيخلدونَ بما شادوا وما ادَّكَروا

فيخلدونَ بما شادوا وما ادَّكَروا

They remember men of intellect, the finest among them,

They recall the people of intellect, its elite

So they live on through what they built and what they remembered.

So they immortalize what they built and what they commemorated

وكلُّ ما عندنا نحنُ الأُلى ادُّكِروا

وكلُّ ما عندنا نحنُ الأُلى ادُّكِروا

منّا عليكَ سلامٌ أيها القمرُ

منّا عليكَ سلامٌ أيها القمرُ

And all we have—we who were remembered—is

And all we have, we the intimate, commemorate

Our greeting of peace to you, O moon.

From us unto you greetings, O moon
