1. Laugh O sun and weep O sky
For this is the feast of martyrs

2. I care not which land embraced them
For they are the essence of hope

3. I care not which era passed
For their memory is the title of eternity

4. Only their deeds distinguished them
Or the color of sacrifice introduced them

5. How many of them fell in sorrow
Like victims not drenched in blood

6. How many brave saw death and death
Feared him, evil of evils

7. None who carries a heart whose palm
Is like who carries the disgrace of cowardice

8. And a girl in her prime carried
A hero, nay, two from death

9. They took refuge and were protected in her abode
Like jugs of wine mature in secrecy

10. A free father and suckling child
In the difference of age, sanctity of fatherhood

11. They struggled to expel Spain
When night prevailed and light was assassinated

12. When living and dying together
Became meaningless to the weak despairing ones

13. So the soldiers came searching for them
While they in the abode were hostages of fate

14. A moment, if it willed they would die following it
Or if it refused, it would pass unharmed or void

15. The beautiful one said this is my home
I do not refuse the rule of strangers in it

16. Whatever provision you want, help yourself
If I have it and not transgression

17. My keys are but symbols so I do not
Accept humiliation for those who came with the sword

18. If my meaning is lost
Among you, it is with me and in loyalty

19. Your actions are ugly in your thinking
That the excuse of war is the excuse of villains

20. You ransack homes that were
Nothing but sanctuaries of chastity and purity

21. And you trample over the consent of their people
Are they filth while you are the pious?

22. The vicious officer became enraged and howled
Furiously like a wolf, echoing with howls

23. Prepare yourselves, prepare yourselves, group
Who enjoy the pleasure of killing the innocent

24. Aim the fire at her in consent
They watch the matter like one hoping for reward

25. And the free, proud girl refuses
Any pardon, or submission, or hypocrisy

26. She looked with the gaze of an obstinate tyrant
Stabbing tyranny with an arrow of pride

27. And suddenly the arrogant officer seemed
Helpless to call out

28. And finally after harassment, he said, no
You will become before me like stubble

29. I will turn the house into fire filled with
Laughs from the heads of fools

30. Burning the body is easy
When the soul is saved from this affliction

31. So that cruel one collapsed like one
Stricken with blindness, though shame eluded him

32. And the soldiers neither extended a hand
Towards her, nor uttered an offensive word

33. Rather they went like the mute whose
Purpose is unknown, or recoiled like the foolish

34. The war continued long and ended
Like the fading of meteors in the open desert

35. People did not know why it erupted
And persisted in tears and blood

36. And why suddenly it ended
And became equal in beginning and end

37. People persist in their misguidance
And the most misguided were the leaders

38. They never opposed for a reason
In which the judgment of the wise succeeded

39. The people's rights whatever you deny
Are not erased when the people will

40. That child grew among his nation
A leader ripened by the long affliction

41. Events in his life passed
Like the gusting of wind at the highest clouds

42. It did not destroy him, but rather his mind
Grew in wisdom, composure and purpose

43. He became a pole his nation is guided
By his guidance and friend of scholars

44. And he built its identity from his spirit
Before a firm foundation or electricity

45. His brilliance shone in its history
In the charter of a university in which he illuminated

46. His faith in the messages of the trusted guides founded it
Thus the heroes, their memory lives

47. In the path of truth like the prophets
