يا دَوحَةَ بَطنِ عالجٍ طاب جَفاك

يا دَوحَةَ بَطنِ عالجٍ طاب جَفاك

يَرويك بِغَيض دَمعه الصبُّ هُناك

يَرويك بِغَيض دَمعه الصبُّ هُناك

O great tree in the hollow of ʿĀlij, your harshness has become sweet.

O Dauha, home of treatment, your aloofness was pleasant,

The lovesick lover waters you there with the scant flow of his tears.

There the pouring of tears waters you,

في ظِلِّكِ مَن وَسَّدني ساعدُه

في ظِلِّكِ مَن وَسَّدني ساعدُه

والآن موسَّدٌ إِلى الأَهل هُناك

والآن موسَّدٌ إِلى الأَهل هُناك

In your shade is the one whose forearm pillowed me.

In your shade one who supported me with his arms,

And now he lies pillowed beside his kin there.

And now relies on his family there.
