يا خيال النصر في يوم الفدا

يا خيال النصر في يوم الفدا

عز مسراك وعز المفتدى

O vision of victory on the day of sacrifice,

O imagination of victory on the day of redemption

Exalted was your night journey, and exalted the one redeemed.

Your pride brings joy, and the pride of the ransomed brings joy

كبّرت لما تلقتك الربى

كبّرت لما تلقتك الربى

وجثا الشط وحياك المدى

وجثا الشط وحياك المدى

The hills cried 'God is greatest' when they received you,

The plains rejoiced when they met you

And the shore knelt, and the horizon saluted you.

And the river bank knelt, and the expanse greeted you

لك ما غنى وثنى وشدا

لك ما غنى وثنى وشدا

طائر الدوح وما الحادي حدا

طائر الدوح وما الحادي حدا

Yours is all that was sung, repeated, and warbled

For you, the birds sang and recited poetry

By the grove's bird, and all the camel-driver chanted,

The doves cooed, and the partridges chirped

والدوالي الخضر رواها الندى

والدوالي الخضر رواها الندى

 وندائي كلما طاب الندا

وندائي كلما طاب الندا

And the green grapevines watered by the dew,

And the rolling green meadows were watered by the dew

And my call whenever the calling grows sweet.

And my call whenever the echo sounded sweet

عصفت روحك اطراف الحمى

عصفت روحك اطراف الحمى

وسرت في كل سمع نغما

وسرت في كل سمع نغما

Your spirit swept across the homeland's borders,

Your spirit blew at the edges of zeal

And flowed into every ear as melody.

And flowed in every hearing with melody

From God's shadows it stretched out its shadow,

From the shadows of God it extended its shade

For it is God's light on earth and in heaven.

So it is God's light, on earth and sky

ورويت الأرض عطرا ودما

ورويت الأرض عطرا ودما

ودعاك الثأر ان تنتقما

ودعاك الثأر ان تنتقما

And you watered the earth with fragrance and blood,

And you watered the earth with fragrance and blood

And vengeance called you to take revenge.

And vengeance called you to take revenge

وفلسطين خيال كلما

وفلسطين خيال كلما

هاج كالشوق تجلى وبدا

هاج كالشوق تجلى وبدا

And Palestine is a vision that, whenever

And Palestine, whenever its imagination raged

It stirs like longing, reveals itself and appears.

Like longing, it appeared and manifested

A giant stepped forth from the soldiers' ranks,

A rebel from the army of soldiers set out

He astounds the plain and occupies the earth,

Startling the plains and conquering the land

حامل رشاشه منطلق لا

حامل رشاشه منطلق لا

يبالي لهبا أو عسكرا

Carrying his machine gun, rushing onward, he does not

Carrying his machine gun unleashed

Care about flames or an army.

Not caring for flames or armies

He left humiliation far behind, ran, and donned

Leaving humiliation far behind and he ran wearing

The robe of death, and took heed.

The garb of determination and lesson learning

يدرك المرمى يرى او لا يرى

يدرك المرمى يرى او لا يرى

ثم يلقى ربه مستشهدا

ثم يلقى ربه مستشهدا

He reaches the target, whether he sees or does not see,

He reaches his target, seeing or not seeing

Then meets his Lord as a martyr.

Then meets his Lord martyred

He entered Paradise, filled with radiance,

He entered Heaven, fulfilled and delighted

And the Throne bent over him and gazed.

And the Throne sang for him and rang

ما ثل في طرفه طيف الحمى

ما ثل في طرفه طيف الحمى

فهو في الفردوس يبكي الوطنا

فهو في الفردوس يبكي الوطنا

The homeland's phantom was not shattered in his gaze,

No specter of zeal glimpsed in his eye

So in Paradise he weeps for the homeland.

For he is in Paradise, crying for the homeland

ودوى الذكر في الأقصى دنا

And remembrance resounded in al-Aqsa, drawing near,

And the call to prayer echoed drawing near

And the brown tents are scattered fragments of hope.

And the black tents scattered wishes

And the freedom fighter at the canal's banks

And the fighter on the edges of the canal

Writes victory and dictates the appointed hour.

Writes victory and dictates the tryst
