1. March on, O people, march on
Towards the heights, unafraid

2. For the sword of your resolve is unsheathed
And the path of your rights is clear

3. Do not submit to any order
That would strike a futile blow

4. And look with the mirror of thought
At the forms of consequences

5. And work for yourself and strive
With the effort of the steadfast toiler

6. For the peace of the soul is attained
Through its fruits of tribulation

7. You will take up your reins willingly
Into the hands of the passionate

8. And drink the water pleasantly
Though the water of wells is bitter

9. And how can an eye enjoy
Between an eye and an eyebrow?

10. And does the face of a lover
Suit the eye of an observer?

11. The will of the people is stronger
In dignity and more steadfast

12. So its youth never withers
Nor do the strivers tire

13. Only when the people rise up
Do they become victorious

14. With Al-Khatib an arrow
Straight-shooting and unerring

15. And there will come a day
When you attain your hopes

16. The history of your age has become
A collection of wonders

17. And politics has set up
Theaters and playgrounds

18. As if it were not founded
On the principles of experience

19. Today one form appears
Unfit for yesterday

20. And it scarcely lingers before
Tomorrow brings more wonders

21. And the principle they laid down
Has been rent by misfortunes

22. And the erasure of those foundations
Of fanciful wishes

23. Feeling grows and ascends
For it has no conqueror

24. Politics has no heart
To pardon a reproacher

25. It builds then razes utterly
What it erected of demands

26. A color it changes and a hue
It sheds in abundantrenewal
