أَرَسماً جَديداً مِن سُعادَ تَجَنَّبُ

أَرَسماً جَديداً مِن سُعادَ تَجَنَّبُ

عَفَت رَوضَةُ الأَجدادِ مِنها فَيَثقُبُ

عَفَت رَوضَةُ الأَجدادِ مِنها فَيَثقُبُ

Do you shun a fresh trace of Su'ad?

I draw a new painting of happiness avoiding

Her Meadow of al-Ajdad has been effaced, and Yathqub too.

The meadow of ancestors has withered in it, it penetrates

عَفا آيَهُ ريحُ الجُنوبِ مَعَ الصَبا

عَفا آيَهُ ريحُ الجُنوبِ مَعَ الصَبا

وَأَسحَمُ دانٍ مُزنُهُ مُتَصَوَّبُ

وَأَسحَمُ دانٍ مُزنُهُ مُتَصَوَّبُ

The south wind, together with the east wind, has erased its traces,

The verse of the southern wind has excused with the morning breeze

And a dark cloud, its rain clouds hanging low and pouring down.

And a palm tree leaning, its branches entwined
