khabour ya khabour, naw3a d'bnooneh d'atour
khidyewakh l'marzanokh, sha makh qamta door
kma sikhyewakh go dranokh, ncheeleh wardeh m'bostanokh

kelon an gannaneh, kelon an karmaneh

hawa sipya d'atree, la letin weya
la makh 6oraneh o zomeh, dishta o galeya
go kol matan weetela, kha aina d'meya

--

khaqla o karma m'marehen, mokhneya o bkhaya
dishta d'nineveh o 6or3abden, l'khabour beqraya

qalan sheeleh min srakha, leton beshmaya

--

etatan o dereh teeqeh, go 6oreh o qayeh
