âAla baladi(l) mahbub(u) waddini
(Take me to the country of my beloved)
Zad wagdi wil-bu'di kawini
(My passion has increased and the separation is burning me)
Ya habibi ana âalbi ma'ak
(Oh my beloved, my heart is with you)
Tul(il) layli sahran wayyak
(The whole night I am staying up with you)
Titmanna âayni ru'yak
(My eye wishes to see you)
âAshkilak winta tiwasini
(I'll cry on your shoulder and you'll comfort me)
Ya mafir âala bahr an-Nil
(Oh you traveller to the river Nile)
Ana liyya fi masri khalil
(I have a friend in Egypt)
Min bu'du ma banam il-layl
(And after the night goes to sleep)
âAla baladi al-mahbub(u) waddini
(Take me to the country of my beloved)
