1. A specter defied gunpowder and fire
No tyrant engineered it, no despot designed it

2. A memory of the red revolution and its fervor
With light and torrential rain poured March

3. It passed over the white summit melting
The ice from it, filling the valleys with rivers

4. In each river you see a shadow enveloped
Ghosts of Kawah and around it frolicking mice

5. Oh Kawah's people, ask the mourners how he fell
A fortress on the outstretched arm collapsed

6. And how the tyrant's hand that shook off the dust fell
And how the rebels rushed forth

7. And Al-Keer on the day of horror a torch
From it lights rose over horizons

8. Stop at Shirin and chant, perhaps it would speak
And tell you what the stones yearn for

9. Perhaps the echoes would stir and burst
A lyre in the hand of the shepherd and flute

10. Did traces remain of the smooth galloping horses
Of the raging, defiant horseman

11. You can almost hear in the horizons a scream
As if it were a storm in the sky of truth

12. It passed over injustice, so its pillars shook
And it rang loudly, a warning to the unjust

13. And the colonizer awoke poorly to
Its echoes, hungry in the collapsed field

14. And the people rushed to the shackles to break them
As veils split from their eyes

15. How many orphans did injustice leave
And a looted caravan traveled to the house of passion

16. The naked starved were taken prisoner
And their chaste women were violated

17. The field and the house were ransacked
And hearts bled above the graves

18. And the prison opened its doors
And the red gallows were fed by the butcher

19. As if an oppressed Arab reached
His hand to his brother, how blood will spill

20. The exploited in valley and mountain
Their blood spills from the red betrayer's whip

21. Their blood mixed as it spilled from the lash
Evil cannot separate it with hypocrisy

22. And injustice sheathed its talons in their chests
Its claws gathered the two wounds with blood

23. And hunger unified the will of the starved
To ignite it and not let the fire die out

24. And nakedness piled up naked bodies
On a path to light traveled by those who walked

25. And nearness of shackles bound two peoples
And thoughts were directed from the two peoples' steps

26. Oh joy of celebration, there is no cheer in celebration
Until the home is liberated from its invaders

27. Oh joy of celebration, there is no cheer in celebration
Until the home is liberated from its invaders
