1 G oor habeennimo ah ayaan sariirtayda ka doondoonay kan naftaydu jeceshahay. Waan doondoonay, laakiinse ma aanan helin.

By night on my bed I sought the one I love; I sought him, but I did not find him.

2 H addaba waan kacayaa, oo magaaladaan dhex wareegayaa, Oo dariiqyada iyo jidadka waaweyn Ayaan ka dhex goobayaa kan naftaydu jeceshahay. Waan doondoonay laakiinse ma aanan helin.

“I will rise now,” I said, “And go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love.” I sought him, but I did not find him.

3 W axaa i helay waardiyayaashii magaalada dhex warwareegayay, Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Kan naftaydu jeceshahay ma aragteen?

The watchmen who go about the city found me; I said, “Have you seen the one I love?”

4 O o kolkaan iyagii in yar sii dhaafay Ayaan helay kii naftaydu jeceshahay. Waan qabtay, mana sii dayn, Ilaa aan isaga gurigii hooyaday keenay, Oo aan qolladdii tii i uuraysatay geliyey.

Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.

5 G abdhaha reer Yeruusaalemow, waxaan idinku dhaarinayaa Cawsha iyo deerada duurka Inaydaan jacayl kicin ama aydaan toosin Ilaa uu doono.

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases. The Coming of Solomon The Shulamite

6 W aa kuma kan cidlada uga soo baxaya sida tiirar qiiq ah? Oo ay malmalka, iyo fooxa, Iyo dhirta udgoon ee baayacmushtariga oo dhammu ka carfayaan?

Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?

7 B al eeg, waa sariirta Sulaymaan lagu qaadee. Lixdan nin oo xoog badan oo ka mid ah kuwa xoogga badan ee reer binu Israa'iil Ayaa hareereheeda ku wareegsan.

Behold, it is Solomon’s couch, With sixty valiant men around it, Of the valiant of Israel.

8 K ulligood seefta aad bay u yaqaaniin, waana wada dagaalyahan. Ninkood kastaba seeftiisii dhexday ugu xidhan tahay, Cabsida habeenka aawadeed.

They all hold swords, Being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night.

9 B oqor Sulaymaan wuxuu kursi la qaado Ka samaystay qoryihii Lubnaan.

Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King Made himself a palanquin:

10 T iirarkiisii lacag buu ka dhigay, Hoostiisiina dahab buu ka dhigay, oo meeshuu fadhiistayna guduud buu ka dhigay, Oo dhexdiisiina gabdhaha reer Yeruusaalem ayaa jacayl ku sharraxay.

He made its pillars of silver, Its support of gold, Its seat of purple, Its interior paved with love By the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 G abdhaha reer Siyoonow, bal baxa, oo Boqor Sulaymaan eega, Isagoo qaba taajkii hooyadiis madaxa u saartay maalintii arooskiisa, Iyo maalintii qalbigiisu faraxsanaa.

Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.
