يا مركب الهند [Ya Markab Alhind] [English translation]

O the boat of India

O the boat of India ,,, the one with two masts, how I wish to be your captain

And write on your rudder a couple of verses,,,, named my love and Its address

I've been waiting for too long along with my broken heart,,,, o the boat of love I wish the wind

At the crack of the dawn ,,,, would fill your masts

And I navigate through my passion to the brightness of your eyes ,,,, as well as return to my beloved people at home

O sea, on me your waves are high ,,,, the specter of my lover Is on my mind

Distance Is so hard ,,, and my lover Is forgetting

By God .... oh my crew .... my kinsfolk .... and my people

My heart Is yearning for my beloved ones

O the boat of illusion I wasted my life ,,,, between the hope of meeting and the farewell

O sea of wishes ,,,, which has no ports

Lost your time ,,,, and I lost mine

The boat Is lost along with Its captain
