Dahmane El-harrachi - Ya Rayah

يا الرايح وين مسافر تروح تعيا وتولي
شحال ندموا العباد الغافلين قبلك وقبلي
شحال شفت البلدان العامرين والبر الخالي
شحال ضيعت وقات وشحال تصيد مازال تخلي
يا الغايب في بلاد الناس شحال تعيا ما تجري
بيك وعد القدرة ولا الزمان وانت ما تدري
علاش قلبك حزين وعلاش هكدا كي الزاوالي
ما تدوم الشدة وإيلا بقيت عالم واكتبلي
ما يدوموا لايام ولا يدوم صغرك وصغري
يا حليلو مسكين اللي خاب سعدو كي زهري
يا مسافر نعطيك وصايتي اديها عالبكري
شوف ما يصلح بيك قبل ما تبيع وما تشري
يا النايم جاني خبرك كيما صرالك صرالي
هكدا راد وقدر في الجبين سبحانو العا

 Oh Emigrant

Oh emigrant, where are you going?
Eventually you must come back
How many ignorant people have regretted this
Before you and me

How many overpopulated countries and empty lands have you seen?
How much time have you wasted?
How much have you yet to lose?
Oh emigrant in the country of others
Do you even know what's going on?
Destiny and time follow their course but you ignore it

Why is your heart so sad?
And why are you staying there miserable?
Hardship will end and you no longer learn or build anything
The days don't last, just as your youth and mine didn't
Oh poor fellow who missed his chance just as I missed mine

Oh traveler, I give you a piece of advice to follow right away
See what is in your interest before you sell or buy
Oh sleeper, your news reached me
And what happened to you happened to me
Thus, the heart returns to its creator, the Highest.
