هَل مِن خَبَرِ يا نَسَماتِ البانِ

هَل مِن خَبَرِ يا نَسَماتِ البانِ

في طَيَّكِ عن أُولئِكَ الجيرانِ

في طَيَّكِ عن أُولئِكَ الجيرانِ

Is there any news, O breezes of the bān trees,

Is there any news, O gentle winds,

Within your folds, of those neighbors?

In your folds, of those neighbors -

لا تَعتقِدوُني رُمتُ عَنهم بَدَلاً

لا تَعتقِدوُني رُمتُ عَنهم بَدَلاً

لا سَلوَةً لي ولا زَمانٌ ثانِ

لا سَلوَةً لي ولا زَمانٌ ثانِ

Do not think I sought a substitute for them:

Do not think I have exchanged them for another,

I have no solace, nor a second lifetime.

I have no consolation or second spring.
