شوقي صديقي لا يعرف الملل

Shawqi, my friend, never gets bored
معاه الحياة دايماً حلوة ما تبدل
Ma'ah al-ḥayah da'iman ḥulwah ma tabaddal
With him, life is always sweet and unchanging
يلعب ويجري ما يحس بالتعب
Yal'ab wa yajri ma yaḥiss bi-l-ta'ab
He plays and runs, never feeling tired
يضحك وينشط، ينسيك كل التعب
Yaḍḥak wa yanshaṭ, yansik kull al-ta'ab
He laughs and energizes, making you forget all fatigue

شوقي صديقي، شوقي لا يعرف الكسل
Shawqi sadiqi, Shawqi la ya'rif al-kasal

أحلى الأوقات، عمرنا ما نملوا ولا ننسين
Aḥla al-awqat, 'umruna ma namallu wala nansin
The best times, we never get bored or forget
