1. Greetings O noble king
Encircled by venerable angels

2. I came to you while the green eyes yearn
Towards me as if they were arrows around me

3. So who whispered to the people that I
Would complain of their harm however slight

4. You left us to face the calamities of fate
Overpowering tribulations against which we have no protection

5. We are weary of them and have no patience
And the easiest thing for us is to turn away

6. Muhammad, it has been twenty years
And it suffices what an evil year brings

7. Do you know what the nights impose on us
And the huge misfortunes they bring

8. Are you pleased that injustice remains among us
While the best hopes of the free man are doves

9. Is not death more beautiful than a life
Where one is disgraced or oppressed

10. Shall I sleep O Muhammad while the country
Its sanctity violated by vile people

11. So rise and see what sorrows have befallen it
And the like of you will not weary from rising

12. If you but glance at it
Your pockets will be stained with tears of blood

13. And I swear if you could take revenge
Then your revenge upon us would destroy us

14. We destroyed what you built of glories
With your determination though events are determined

15. Does it not satisfy you, from among us
Men of loyalty it has sworn alliance

16. It is the same whether Egypt raised them
Beyond events and difficulties

17. May God protect Syria, how much it loved us
With hands that do not withdraw from us

18. Among its people we have noble people
Whose covenant in them is protected and alliance observed

19. They are Egypt's supporters and defenders
When great misfortunes befall it

20. And they are our closest brothers in it
We treat them equally though tyrants disapprove

21. A close lineage unites us
And affinity and harmony gather us
