O new generation, greetings

الجيل الجديد

1. O new generation, greetings
The years have burdened you with their weight

١. ياأيُّها الجيلُ الجديدُ سلامُ
ألقت إليك بِثْقلِها الأعوامُ

2. And disasters have assaulted you with their calamities
That the tyrants have harvested, their bodies

٢. ورمْت بكلكلِها عليك فوادحٌ
مما تجنّى " السادرون " ، جسام

3. They have burdened you, though you are the noblest pioneer
With the weight of their hopes and sorrows

٣. ألْقْت إليك وأنتَ أشرفُ ناهضٍ
ثقلَيهمْا الآمال والآلام

4. So the painful past has burdened you with its burden
And the promising future has chanted poems to you

٤. فرمى لكَ الماضي الأليم بِوزْرِهِ
ورنا لكَ المستَقبلُ البسام

5. And the troubled present wandering between them
Yearning and dreaming floats upon it

٥. والحاضرُ المرتجّ بينهما شجاً
وتطُّلعاً تهفو به الأحلام

6. The traitors have burdened you with the yield of
What they conspired, corrupted, tampered with and poisoned

٦. ألقى إليك" الخائنون" نَتاجَ ما
سدروا وشطوا وارتَعَوْا وأساموا

7. And the loyalists, their hope is that
Distress will clear and the dawn will give birth to darkness

٧. والمخلصون ، رجاؤهم أن تنجلى
كُرَبٌ وأن يِلد الصباحَ ظلام

8. O new generation, for so long
Flags have been wrongly attached

٨. ياأيُّها الجيلُ الجديدُ وطالما
لصقت بغير ذواتِها الأعلام

9. For so long tyrants have raged
Silencing reformers, sitting, standing

٩. ولطالما اشتطّ الطغاةُ وأرجفوا
للمصلحين وأقعدوا وأقاموا

10. They called you "destroyer" because you reject
What injustice cultivated and corruption reaped

١٠. سَمَّوكَ " هدّاماً " لأنكَ تَجْتَوي
ما البغيُ سَنَّ وما جنى الإِجرام

11. And because you made justice your approach
From those whose role is abolishing and building

١١. ولانك استمت العدالةَ خطةً
من في يديه النقضُ والإِبرام

12. And you were angry to find the subjects as livestock
In the hands of the shepherds as if they were cattle

١٢. وغضِبت أن تجدَ الرعايا مَغْنَماً
بيدِ الرُّعاة كأنهم أنعام

13. And you denounced that in their dictionary
Rule is a whip, desire, and nudity

١٣. وشجبت أنّ الحكم في قاموسِهِمْ
سوطٌ يشدُّ وشهوة وعُرام

14. Be patient, all of that is nonsense
That will vanish, and effort and determination will remain

١٤. هوّنْ عليكَ فكلُّ ذلكَ فِريةُُ
تَفْنى . ويَبْقى السعي والإِقْدام

15. And so is every "destroyer" of vice
A builder, and every "immortalizer" a destroyer

١٥. وكذاك كلُّ " مخرّبٍ " لرذيلة
بانٍ ، وكلُّ " مُعَمِّرٍ " هدّام
