1. The ranks are called to heal the rift
And the cry of awakening is called upon those who slept

2. Indeed the youth are God's soldiers, he united them
In "Damascus", a leader the expatriates pursue

3. They walked in his footsteps that descend
As "the Supreme Example" desired and rose high

4. "Damascus", time did not leave anything of you
Except what in the self-denial of others pleaded

5. And if I wanted to blame you about a blemish
I would say: your nose despite pride is broken

6. So why do you wait for a dead man with no conscience
Neither fear is relevant nor greed

7. I was told in "Ghouta" the singing storm
That almost uproots what is in it and uproots

8. It passed by "Barda” so its foliage faded
And in the meadows neither beauty nor pasture

9. So I said: no harm if her clamor
Dissipates the anger of the plundered country

10. Is there anything but pleasures that faded and left behind
Eternal beauties, affections, and communions

11. The country whose people were never oppressed
And dishonor and panic did not approach

12. Protected by the deaf unique it guards it
The predominance of men over lifespan contends

13. Like "the eagles" when they soar they horrify
And death fills their peaks when they fall

14. The defeated like the spring of sorrows glorified
The tribulations so they neither faded nor donned armors

15. And the steadfast like the lions so when
They are enraged you see death charges

16. They do not utter lies until when they fight
The logic of murder from them a logic of cleansing

17. Damascus O "Mother", the opinion is celebrating
And the resolve is rallying, and time is ample

18. Say, the daring of ribs is expecting
And call, the zealous are rising listening

19. And unite the matter...we unite no one divides us
You...or us in what should be followed

20. And obedient to your order rallied troops
To "Arabism" after God pledged

21. It spares you describing what they face that they
Feared for you, and when you mourn, they mourned

22. And it may be soon that you see "Aleppo"
The Iraqi cavalry before migration regathers

23. "Qubba's" mustaches that do not curl
And the afflicted does not show on "drawing it close" misery

24. Trust "Damascus" for there is no limit nor mark
Nor lines - like a child's game - innovated

25. That bars you from Baghdad's land and its Tigris
As for the Euphrates a spring between us flowed

26. When "the peninsula" quenched its thirst from it
The Euphrates people quenched and gushed

27. It flowed on the cup and the news is agonizing
A tear is the heart towards the eye flows

28. And "Khidr" relaxed to the communication that almost choked him
The memory of "Damascus" and what it meets and what befalls

29. So I said: I wish "France" was here to see
How hearts on misfortunes gather

30. These are "Baghdad's" pleasures and its bliss
And sorrow for you, so how can grief and panic

31. Damascus did its best so it could not
On the politics of a cunning illness whose greed recovered

32. It was "deliberate" so it did not work..neither impulsiveness
Worked...nor slowness worked...nor hastened

33. After thirty years and it still suffers
Regret...glancing at the past and going back

34. "Paris'" circles were a pillar for it
And today from them danger and panic comes

35. "Today" it narrowed with its complaints and sorrows
And "yesterday" it about “Othman” expanded

36. It is as if the Arabs never had a demand
Nor took on carrying the burden of the people

37. Neither did "Burd" walk and death carries it
Nor did "Rusul" stride and death pursues

38. Nor are the gallows in its logs ripe fruit
Fresh from the grieving homeland picked

39. If they were deceptions, dire were their consequences
So how many a dark road they illuminated

40. They were lessons for Syria and its neighbor
Due to their abundant implementation they mastered

41. O a revolution which oppression brought its pollination close
The unjust will touch the worst it bears

42. They said: politics is a law that has no integrity
So can it be madness that has piety?

43. And after today do they want an experience
And in remembering what has passed desisted?

44. The heart of Arabism, is it good news we announce
That “as-Suwayda” is healthy and has no pain

45. And “Latakia”, is there a Lord who rights it
Or is its Lord the beloved flag that rises

46. And in “al-Jazirah”, did its delusions disappear
And did its opinions and factions unite?

47. O “Paradise of Immortality”, if a heavy guest did not hurt its resident, his face is ugly
A beast with visible claws, no father birthed it

48. But in the lands of the West it is innovated
“Damascus”, I have a heart I am troubled with

49. That is about to rip from the throes of longing
The traveler...heading to your passport

50. As if he was plucked from your green prairie
The specter of “my children” haunts me so I awakened them

51. A memory, and your specter their resort if they slept
“Euphrates” most resembles me in passion

52. In what I love...your love has adopted it
