1. Our hands were blessed,
Yet our lands were made barren.

2. Our livestock grew weary,
And our springs turned to mud.

3. How many horses were let loose,
On which our glory rode.

4. How much knowledge was neglected,
Which adorned our valleys.

5. Ignorance replaced the knowledge
Of our jurists and judges.

6. Feeble minds were empowered,
The West became their religion.

7. We were left with no knowledge,
Crying out in our valleys.

8. We oppose those who support us,
And support those who oppose us.

9. From one West to another,
Our efforts went in vain.

10. Our meadows were disfigured,
We did not care.

11. Our values were belittled,
Our aspirations were estranged.

12. Platforms were built,
To hang what made us kin.

13. To spread every hated thing,
And corrupt our songs.

14. To hide our beauty,
And expose our flaws.

15. We no longer lamented
Our people or our folk.

16. They came calling us,
With a right that was ours.

17. We believed those who misled us,
And we became the misguided ones.

18. We and the West remained
Obedient to Jacob.

19. We went against our teachings,
And became the condemned ones.

20. We lost our balances,
And became the indebted ones.

21. We neglected Palestine,
Yet our misfortunes did not weep.

22. It seems we have been
Ignoble since ancient times.

23. And when Allah sent
The prophets calling us,

24. We refused, then we said,
This is not what we want.

25. We fought and killed,
Yet we were not tilting.

26. Nothing but killing
Our most beautiful meanings.

27. Our lands were emptied,
And our remains were paved over.

28. Our meadows flashed:
Accept our condolences.

29. The world was confused in us,
No medicine could cure us.

30. Nothing could equal us
Except the ignorance that brought us low.

31. God did not protect us,
Nor were we protected.
