شبيت لي نار حطبها حطبته
Shabbit li nar hatabha hatabtah
I lit a fire with its wood, its wood
من السيال اللي غصونه مهاديف
Min al-sayyal illi ghusoonah mahadeef
From the acacia whose branches are low-hanging
بالوادي اللي يشرح الصدر نبته
Bil-wadi illi yashrah al-sadr nabtah
In the valley whose plants gladden the heart
سيله يسيل من الهضاب المكانيف
Sailah yaseel min al-hidhab al-makaneef
Its flood flows from the high hills
اسمه مسمى بس انا ماكتبته
Ismah musamma bass ana ma katabtah
Its name is known, but I didn't write it
مرعى دبشنا والبكار المشاعيف
Mar'a dabashna wal-bikar al-masha'eef
Grazing for our livestock and the eager young camels
وسويت دله بنها يوم جبته
Wa sawwayt dallah binna-ha yawm jibnah
And I made a pot of coffee from its beans when I brought it
لوهو يكلف ماحسبت التكاليف
Law hu yakallif ma hasabt al-takaleef
Even if it was costly, I didn't mind the expenses
بن اليمن لقناد راسي رغبته
Binn al-Yaman li-qannad rasi raghbatuh
Yemeni coffee for my head's pleasure, I desired it
وقناد راس اليالفا دارنا ضيف
Wa qannad ras illi yalfa darana dhaif
And to please the head of the guest who visited our home
