1. After today you will regret years of sleep
If the heart of the people confesses what it has committed

2. And the obstinate voices of injustice responded
With them I heard the voices of humans and jinn

3. Calling in the loudest voice saying to us
Beware O sleeping nation of happy Yemen

4. This long sleep is as if you
Sought refuge from the Noble Sanctuary to the lowest cavern

5. But it is a cavern of intense darkness
Frightening, but the people of the cavern found safety in it

6. Beware, awaken your dreams and arise
For the West is no more worthy of glory in life than us

7. Arise at once so your resolve is handed over
And be as one hand, that we may drive away evil from us

8. Uncover the cloaks of ignorance from yourselves
and your glory, and let the blows and stabs speak

9. For there is no good in a life of disgrace for the wise
And in his death with glory he will see no loss

10. Is there not among you jealousy and zeal
for religion, kinship, land, and children?
