1. أنا ليلَى التُّونِسيَه

    خَيرُ حسنَاءٍ صَبِيَه

    I am Layla the Tunisian,

    The finest of lovely young girls,

  2. ذاتُ أخلاقٍ رَضِيَه

    من كَليلَى فِي البنات

    With admirable character.

    Who among girls is like Layla?

  3. ذاتُ عقلٍ ذاتُ فهمٍ

    ذاتُ نُبلٍ ذاتُ عَِلمِ

    With reason, with understanding,

    With nobility, with knowledge,

  4. ذاتُ خُلقِ ذاتُ عزمٍ

    وخحيَاءٍ وثَبات

    With good character, with resolve,

    And modesty and steadfastness.

  5. ذاتُ جِدٍّ واجتِهَادِ

    في دُروسِي ومُرَادِي

    With earnestness and diligence

    In my lessons; and my wish

  6. آن أُرَى ذاتَ رَشَادِ

    ليسَ مِثلي في لِدَاتي

    Is to be seen as wise.

    None among my peers is like me.

  7. وطِني الخضراءُ تُونس

    ولِيَ الحمَراء تُؤنِس

    My homeland is verdant Tunisia,

    And I have Al-Hamra to keep me company.

  8. لِي فيها خيرُ مؤنِس

    حقَّقَ اللهُ رَجَاتِي

    There I have the finest companion;

    May God fulfill my hopes.
