Wal sultanate wal shabeyato wal shariyato bayna jamee el malikati
My sultana and my legitimate queen
Ya qamaran yatlao kolla masain min nafithatil kalimati
O you moon which shows up every night from the window of words
Ya akhira watanin oolado feehi , wa adfono feehi
O you my final homeland in which I was born and in which I shall die
Wa anshoro feehi kitabati
And publish my writings
Ghaliyati anti ghaliyati
O you my precious
La adri kaifa ramanil mawjo ala qadamaiki
I ignore how the waves threw me on your feet
