Sol 6.1

  1. قف بالديار وحيها

    واسأل معاهدها الوسمية

    Stop at the dwellings and greet them,

    And question their autumn-rain-watered haunts:

  2. هل مال عنها للسوى

    من حبها اضحى غريمه

    Has he turned from them to another,

    He whom love of them holds in debt?

  3. يرضى العذاب بقربها

    ويرى الشقا فيها نعيمه

    He accepts torment near them,

    And finds his bliss in misery there.

  4. صب وإن نسيت إلى

    حمص منابته القديمه

    A lovesick man, though it is to

    Homs that his ancient roots are traced.

  5. فلأنت يا حلب العلا

    وطن لأسرته الصميمه

    For you, Aleppo of lofty glory,

    Are home to his own true family.

  6. مضت القرون ولم تزل

    بربوعها ابدا مقيمه

    Centuries have passed, yet it remains

    Forever dwelling in her quarters.

  7. حلب حماك الله من

    عين ابن فاجرة أثيمه

    Aleppo, may God protect you from

    The eye of a sinful harlot's son.

  8. يا مسقط الرأس العزي

    ز ودرة الحسن اليتيمة

    O cherished birthplace,

    And beauty's peerless pearl;

  9. يا موطن الأدب الصحي

    ح ومجمع الشيم الكريمه

    O home of true literature,

    And gathering place of noble virtues;

  10. أهلوك خير الناس أخ

    لاقا واصدقهم عزيمه

    Your people are the finest in character,

    And the truest in resolve;

  11. أهل التقى أهل الصلا

    ح وكل منقبة وسيمه

    People of piety, people of righteousness,

    And every lovely virtue.

  12. وجوارهم خسير الجوا

    ر وودهم اسنى غنيمه

    Their neighborliness is the finest,

    And their affection the richest prize.

  13. ما اخلقوا عهدا ولا

    خانوا ولا ارتكبوا جريمه

    Never have they let a pledge wear thin, nor

    Proved treacherous, nor committed a crime.

  14. يفديك يا حلب الكرا

    م بكل ذي قدر وقيمه

    The noble would ransom you, O Aleppo,

    With all that has rank and worth.

  15. افديك بالنفس العزي

    زة وهي في عيني عظيمه

    I would ransom you with my precious soul,

    Great though its worth is in my eyes.

  16. لله منك رياض حس

    ن نورت من بعد ديمه

    God be praised for your gardens of beauty,

    Abloom after soft, steady rain!

  17. وجنان أنس حبورها

    وعهودها ليست ذميمه

    And gardens of delight, whose joy

    And remembered days are without reproach.

  18. ورعى الإله منازلا

    وحمى جواسقك الفخيمه

    And may God watch over the dwellings,

    And guard your magnificent palaces.

  19. ولدي وأهلي في ربو

    عك ثم ارحامي الرحيمه

    My offspring and my family are in your quarters,

    And then my tender-hearted kin;

  20. وذو ودادي والألى

    نكران ذكرهم شتيمه

    And the one I cherish, and those

    Whose memory it is an insult to deny:

  21. من كل أروع ماجد

    حر المودة والسكيمه

    Every splendid, noble man,

    Noble in affection and disposition,

  22. ومهذب عاشرته

    فحمدت منه خير شيمه

    With gracious favors and all-embracing blessings.
