1 Wa be l-leel, fi sariiri,
ana fattacht al-galbi biriidah,
ana fattachtah wa ma ligiitah.
2 Ana gammeet wa hawwagt al-madiina
fi l-chawaariʼ wa fi ayyi bakaan.
Ana fattacht al-galbi biriidah,
ana fattachtah wa ma ligiitah.
3 Wa l-hurraas al-buruukhu al-hille
be l-leel ligooni
wa ana gult :
«Ma chiftu al-galbi biriidah ?»
4 Wa min futt minhum,
ana ligiit al-galbi biriidah.
Hadantah wa ma khalleetah
lahaddi waddeetah fi hooch ammi
wa dakhkhaltah fi beet hana l-wildatni
lahaddi fi l-khurfa.
5 Ya banaat Madiinat al-Khudus,
nihallifkan be jamaal al-khuzlaan
wa araayil al-kadaade
kadar ma tigawwiman
wa la tiwaʼʼan al-hubb gabul waktah.
Kalaam al-mahbuuba
6 Yaatu al-jaayi min al-sahara
wa ajaajah misil dukhkhaan al-taaliʼ ?
Yaatu al-muʼattar be sandal wa lubaan
wa be kulla dukhkhaan al-tujjaar ?
7 Aywa, da Suleymaan al-raakib
fi baasuur utfitah.
Muhawwigiinah 60 rujaal furraas
min ahsan furraas Bani Israaʼiil.
8 Kulluhum chaayliin suyuuf
wa humman naas muhaaribiin.
Ayyi waahid seefah fi sulbah
jaahiz le ayyi khatar al-yaji be l-leel.
9 Al-malik Suleymaan indah utfa
al-sawwooha be hatab Lubnaan.
10 Wa amadha mujammaliin be fudda
wa baasuurha be dahab.
Wa furaachha loonah garadi
wa banaat Madiinat al-Khudus addalan daakhilha
wa jammalannah be mahabba.
11 Amurgan, ya banaat Sahyuun !
Taʼaalan chiifan al-malik Suleymaan !
Indah taaj al-ammah khattatah leyah fi yoom ariisah
wa da yoom al-farah mala galbah.
