1. إخواننا أهلاً بكم ومرحبا

    حقَّ لكم خضوعُنا ووجبا

    Our brothers, welcome, welcome to you!

    Our submission is your due and our duty.

  2. فأرضنا مرعى لكم لا يجدبُ

    فيها لكم رزق حلال طيِّبُ

    For our land is your pasture, never barren;

    in it you have lawful, wholesome sustenance.

  3. وسرنا أنا نرى الأوطانا

    على العدى لأهلها أعوانا

    And we rejoiced to see the homelands

    allies to their people against the enemy.

  4. فإن ذكرنا لكم ذنوبا

    كفَّرَها دفعُكُمُ الغريبا

    So if we recall sins of yours,

    your driving back the foreigner atoned for them,

  5. وأنها وقائعٌ نفعتُمُ

    مغلوبكم بها كما انتفعتمُ

    as did the fact that these were battles in which you benefited

    those you vanquished, just as you yourselves benefited.

  6. جرحتمونا كي تنبهونا

    ونوَّمونا كي يُغَلِّلونا

    You wounded us to rouse us,

    while they lulled us to sleep to shackle us.

  7. وقد يجرِّبُ الفتى في جسمِهِ

    سلاحه يعده لخصمِهِ

    And a young man may test on his own body

    his weapon, which he readies for his foe.

  8. فينا لأيْتُو مالك العنانِ

    جميلُ بَسْمَرْكَ على الألمانِ

    Itō, master of the reins, has rendered us

    the service Bismarck rendered the Germans.

  9. وسوف نلقى تحت ظل بوذا

    إذا اتحدنا مشرباً لذيذا

    And we shall find beneath Buddha’s shade,

    if we unite, a delightful draught.
