ألا تسألان اللَه أن يسقيَ الحمى

ألا تسألان اللَه أن يسقيَ الحمى

بلى فسقى اللَه الحمى والمطاليا

Will you two not ask God to water al-Hima?

Do you not ask God to water the fevered land?

Yes—may God water al-Hima and al-Matali.

Yes, so God has watered the fevered land and the high places.

وأسأل من لاقيت هل مُطِر الحمى

وأسأل من لاقيت هل مُطِر الحمى

فهل يسألن عني الحمى كيف حاليا

فهل يسألن عني الحمى كيف حاليا

And I ask whomever I meet: has rain fallen on al-Hima?

And I ask whoever I meet - has the fevered land been rained upon?

But will al-Hima ever ask after me—how I fare?

So do they ask about me - how am I doing now?
