teela l'balee b'jeloota, d'zamrinwa qa khorawatee
go zmartee k'madinwa, mayla khawirtee
go qedamta k'pal6inwa, kalinwa qam tarra d'beta
saprinwa al brata, go khayeh d'mata

khazinwala am khawiryatoh, kosoh teewa l'rooshananoh
shopra d'ainoh, k'mazyideewa aldeh oh shopra d'patoh
neekha neekha reshee koopa, eman ma6inwa kisloh
darinwa shlamee qatoh

wirron youmaneh o yarkheh, hweelan treh dos6eh dreeleh
khobba go libbakh brikhlan, solyalan slootan
brikhlan, solyalan slootan

khobban ewa shmayanaya, libban sopyoh b'alaha
belan kha rookha b'treh paghreh, etlan yaleh makh dasta d'wardeh

ena edyo pakooren, b'dah zona khreewa

khobba weyeleh qomar, barbaza d'beta
gwala min noora o betoh milyeh min bishta

bnoonan o bnatan, am khamatan

parpoolewin beyokh alahee, snodlon jwanqeh o khamateh

ishta alpeh o shawamma o arpee shinneh

teta d'msheekha mqoblalan christianoota m'kolleh d'libban
ega weela zdoota d'alaha, rookhoh shreela go libban
