Dubai has become a dream in my time.
Do dreams ever become public?
This emirate is one of our wonders
I loved it, I called it my homeland
The sand is gold, and the air is fragrance
And I built my dwelling from fragrance
Gardens of eternity trodden by humans
Walking in silence, out of mercy for the body
I will not name them, for fear that
Glories will compete in "Aden"
Or that the birds will become confused
Among the flowers and the green of the branches
This is Dubai, may God protect it
And aid it in the most difficult trials
The waves are raging And I am the sail
Who else but her do my ships yearn for?
I sang your name,
O Dubai, as the letter "ḍād"
And the ear delight in.
You are the star, and you are our (qibla)
So, gaze upon me, O pearl of cities.
