أين الغيارى وحماة الذمار

فالقوم قد جاسوا خلال الديار

Where are the zealous and the guardians of honor?

For the foe has prowled through the dwellings.

في كل يوم غارة عادية

وحملة ظالمة قاسية

Each day, a marauding raid,

And an unjust, cruel assault.

قد رخصت أوطاننا الغالية

مذ اسلمتها المرهفات الحرار

Our precious homelands have been cheapened,

Since freemen surrendered them to keen-edged swords.

ايهنأ النوم لأجفاننا

والرّوس قد عاثت بأوطاننا

Can sleep lie easy upon our eyelids

While the Russians ravage our homelands?

حتى م لا نرثي لأخواننا

ما هذه الجفوة ما الاعتذار

How long shall we feel no pity for our brothers?

What is this coldness? What is the excuse?

كادت ترى ايران مستعمرة

للروس والهفي وانكلترة

Iran could almost be seen as a colony

Of the Russians—alas for me!—and England.

كانت لعمري غدرة مضمرة

فبان ما كان وراء الستار

By my life, it was a concealed betrayal,

And what lay behind the curtain became plain.

فروسيا محتلة بالشمال

تغري رعاع الشعب بالأختلال

Russia occupies the north,

Inciting the people's rabble to disorder,

كي تتقوى حجة الاحتلال

فالنقع منها ولها يستثار

To strengthen the pretext for occupation.

Thus the battle-dust comes from her and is stirred for her.

وقد مشت انكلترا في الجنوب

برغم أهليها ورغم الشعوب

And England has marched into the south,

In defiance of its inhabitants and of the peoples.

فاعجب لقلب اسفاً لا يذوب

من لوعة الوجد وبرح الأوار

Marvel, then, at a heart that does not melt with grief

From anguished sorrow and the torment of burning heat.

طامعة في نيل اخطارها

آمنة من هول اخطارها

Greedy to win her prizes,

Safe from the terror of her dangers,

تروع الشعب باخطارها

تزعم ان سدّ طريق البحار

She frightens the people with her warnings,

Claiming that the sea route has been blocked.

ما يومنا من روسيا واحد

والعدل من تاريخنا شاهد

This is not our only day at Russia's hands,

And justice bears witness from our history.

قد حان ان ينتبه الراقد

ولا يذوق النوم إلا غرار

The time has come for the sleeper to wake

And taste no sleep but a fleeting doze.

في كل أمر وقفت ضدنا

وكم علينا ظاهرت خصمنا

In every affair she has stood against us,

And how often she has backed our foe against us.

فمزقت أيدي سبا ملكنا

فالملك يبكي بالدموع الغزار

She tore our realm apart like the scattered hands of Saba,

And the realm weeps copious tears.

قد فصلت بالرغم بلماريا

والروملي عنا وبلغاريا

She forcibly severed Balmaria,

And Rumelia and Bulgaria from us,

واختلست قرص وقوقازيا

أي خسار مثل هذا الخسار

And seized Kars and Caucasia.

What loss is like this loss?

فادع إلى النهضة كل البلاد

وناد بالإسلام في كل ناد

Call every land, then, to awakening,

And proclaim Islam in every assembly,

نداء واري العزم واري الفؤاد

اضم في أحشائه الحزن نار

With the call of one ablaze in resolve, ablaze at heart,

Wrathful, with grief a fire in his breast.

يا ملة الإسلام توحيدنا

اهم فرض فيه توحيدنا

O community of Islam, our belief in God's oneness—

Its foremost duty is that we be one.

وفي ضمان الله تأييدنا

ومجدنا فيه عزيز الشعار

And God guarantees our support,

And in it our glory's emblem is exalted.

قوموا فلبوا داعي الاتحاد

واعتضدوا فالعز بالاعتضاد

Rise, and answer the herald of union,

And support one another, for strength lies in mutual support.

به معالي مجدكم تستعاد

فيعذب الورد وتحلوا الثمار

Through it the heights of your glory are restored,

And the drinking-water grows sweet, and the fruits sweeten.

هذا صريخ الفرس قد جاءنا

يملأ بالصرخة ارجاءنا

The Persians' crier for help has come to us,

Filling our quarters with his cry.

اليس ما قد ساءهم ساءنا

فلم تقاعدنا عن الانتصار

Has not what distressed them distressed us?

Why, then, have we held back from coming to their aid?

ننمى إلى الإسلام وهو النسب

فنحن أخوان لأم واب

We belong to Islam, and that is our lineage,

So we are brothers of one mother and father.

فلنعطهم من حقهم ما وجب

ولننصر الدين ونرع الجوار

Let us give them, then, the rights we owe them,

And uphold the faith and honor neighborly bonds.

فعادة الميكروب ما لم ترد

تسري فما يسلم منها بلد

For the microbe's way, unless checked,

Is to spread, leaving no land safe from it.

عند السياسي القياس اطرد

الم نشاهد ما به الاعتبار

For the statesman, the analogy holds throughout.

Have we not witnessed what offers a lesson?

فاعتبروا بالهند كيف اغتدت

لما عليها الانكليز اعتدت

Take warning, then, from India and what it became

When the English attacked it.

قد كانت الحرة فاستعبدت

واستلبت ثروتها والفخار

It had been free, then was enslaved,

And its wealth and glory were plundered.

وهذه مصركم القاهرة

قد اصبحت مقهورة حائره

And here is your Egypt, the Victorious,

Now conquered and bewildered,

وهي إلى نصرتكم ناظره

طال عليها زمن الانتظار

Looking to you for help;

Its time of waiting has grown long.

وهذه أخواننا في كريد

قد بقيت رهن عناء شديد

And here are our brothers in Crete,

Still held hostage to grievous suffering.

تأبى فما ترضى بحكم جديد

كم صبرها قد نفد الاصطبار

They refuse, and will not accept a new rule;

How long they have endured! Their patience has run out.

لا تبرقوا للدول الحامية

واستنجدوا البارقة الماضية

Do not send telegrams to the protecting powers;

And seek aid from the keen, flashing blade.

تقرر السؤدد في خانيه

إذا اروّبا عللت بالقرار

It establishes mastery in Chania

When Europe fobs you off with a resolution.

قالوا اروبا حرة عادلة

لم ترعن خطتها عادلة

They said: “Europe is free and just,

Its just policy has never been reckless,

محبة السلم له كافله

ترّد من عن خطة الحق جار

Loving peace and guaranteeing it,

Turning back whoever strays from the path of right.”

قلت من العدل وحب السلام

ان عرّضت ايران للاقتسام

I said: “Is it justice and love of peace

That she has exposed Iran to partition?”

يا أيها العدل عليك السلام

اصبحت كالجور كثر العثار

O Justice, peace be upon you!

You have become like tyranny, stumbling often.

نحن على غفلتنا راقدون

وهم على استملاكنا دائبون

We slumber in our heedlessness,

While they labor ceaselessly to take possession of us.

كنائسا شادوا وشادوا حصون

يا غيرة الدين استطيري شرار

They have built churches and built fortresses.

O zeal for the faith, fly forth as sparks!

يا اسرة المجد الكرام الجدود

نهضا فما هذا أوان القعود

O family of glory, with noble forebears,

Rise! This is no time for sitting idle.

الستم اشبال تلك الأسود

قد دوخوا البرّ وخاضوا البحار

Are you not the cubs of those lions

Who subdued the land and crossed the seas?

إياكم الخذلان اياكم

يفسد دنياكم واخراكم

Beware of letting one another down—beware!

It ruins your worldly life and your hereafter.

هذا كتاب الله ينهاكم

عنه وما الخذلان الا بوار

Here is God's Book forbidding you

To do so; abandonment is nothing but ruin.

يا علماء العصر يا من بهم

يجلى ظلام الحادث المدلهم

O scholars of the age, through whom

The darkness of looming calamity is dispelled,

انتم عصام الخطب للمعتصم

والكهف بعد الله والمستجار

You are a lifeline in calamity to those seeking protection,

And, after God, their shelter and refuge.

قوموا قياماً واحداً اجمعين

ودافعوا عن حوزة المسلمين

Rise together, all of you, as one,

And defend the Muslims' domain.

النصر عند الله وهو المعين

على الأعادي فالبدار البدار

Victory is with God, and He is the helper

Against the enemies—so hasten, hasten!

امركم المسموع فينا المطاع

فأوجبوا الألفة والاجتماع

Your command is heard and obeyed among us,

So make harmony and unity obligatory,

ونظموا الشمل الشتيت الشعاع

فالشمل قد آل إلى الانتثار

And gather the scattered, dispersed community,

For the community has fallen into disarray.

الترك ةالعرب وايرانها

والهند والصين وافغانها

The Turks, the Arabs, and their Iran,

And India, China, and their Afghanistan,

هم أخوة والشرق أوطانها

تحمي حماه بحدود الشفار

Are brothers, and the East is their homeland;

They guard its sanctuary with the edges of blades.

قد شخصت ابصار هذي الأمم

إليكم ترقب أمر القلم

The eyes of these nations are fixed

Upon you, awaiting the command of the pen.

والقلم البارع نعم الحكم

يطنب بالردع على الاختصار

And the masterful pen is an excellent judge;

It is expansive in rebuke despite its brevity.

قالوا اقتسمنا الأرض بالاتفاق

قلت فما شان السيوف الرقاق

They said: “We have divided the earth by agreement.”

I said: “What, then, of the slender swords?

دون الذي رمتم دماء تراق

واكؤس للحتف فيكم تدار

Before you gain what you seek, blood will be shed,

And cups of death will be passed around among you.”

نحافظ استقلالنا والكيان

بالصارم العضب وحد السنان

We safeguard our independence and our existence,

With the keen, cutting sword and the spearhead's edge.

نحن الألى في كل حرب عوان

ذقتم مرير الباس منا مرار

We are the ones: in every renewed war,

You have tasted our bitter might, time after time.
