هدّي على سطوح بيوتنا يا سرب الحمام

حتّى عنق النّخل حنا يا سرب الحمام

يا سرب الحمام بتعرف شو بنا

إهدل لنا تعبانة الرّوح

هدّي واغفي بظلعي سما

حتّى بُحّ النايِّ وما

إهدل لنا وبصوتك روح

هدّي على سطوح بيوتنا

حتّى عنق النّخل حنا يا سرب الحمام

يا سرب الحمام سرّك عندنا وبسرّنا لا تبوح

Oh doves, settle on our rooftops

Even the palm trees have bent their necks for you

Oh doves, you know our woes

Let us hear your cooing to heal our tiered souls

Settle like skies inside my ribs

Even the flute is gesturing for you

Let us hear your cooing please

Then continue your flight

while leaving us with your embracing voice

Oh doves, settle on our rooftops

Even the palm trees have bent their necks for you

Oh flock of doves, we know your secrets – please don’t reveal ours
