1. O people of Osman, life is fleeting
Help each other, O people of Osman

2. Be the wall that strengthens the wall
For God made Islam a building

3. The path for the ungrateful became blood
So your path, its light has appeared

4. Righteousness is the best of faith's branches
God accepts no faith without righteousness

5. Will you have mercy so God may have mercy on you
People in the desert and neighbors in the wilderness

6. In God's protection, brave souls fulfill
Their oath to defend Tripoli

7. If their wounds bleed in exile and turmoil
Their souls and bodies slept on embers

8. This one yearns for the Bosphorus as he dies
That one weeps for his family and children

9. From afar they bid farewell to their homes
And long for their girls and boys

10. Their sin in these times is to protect
A land they called home and homeland

11. They died with abundant honor after them
For honor is worthless if disgraced

12. My people, Egypt's faces darkened forgetting you
It cast aside the generous people of this age

13. You don't ask why allies deserted
You rise to aid the anguished as allies

14. Whenever called for a good cause
You stood, elders and youths, to the caller

15. Had the East been depicted as a noble brother
You'd be its soul and people its body

16. When shaken, swords clash
Winds blow free and rain pounds

17. When virtues are extolled in life
We'd be the text and you the title

18. Life is a day or its clouds
So live your share of life as a human

19. I see the generous with passion and empathy
But see no empathy in the miserly

20. This crescent you celebrate
Among God's symbols, the loveliest

21. I see it between the flags of turmoil an angel
With all else flags, a devil

22. A banner in which the wounded struggle
Until told dead, it flourished like basil

23. Its bearers have a majesty from it derived
As though for people raising the Quran

24. As if its redness around its curve
Were the blood of innocent, elderly Osman

25. As if its whiteness amid the redness
Were the martyr's light who died thirsty

26. As if it were sunset, eyes exalted
Adorning the horizon with ruby and coral

27. As if dyed by lovers' blood
Stirring fervor and passion where it appears

28. As if of gorgeous beauty and guidance
Joseph's blushing cheeks when he bent shyly

29. As if a blooming red rose
Opened in the eternal garden by God's approval
