1. They slept, so all glory in that sleep
Between the blades under the tears of the clouds

2. That they make the sand your grave
And furnish others with ostrich feathers

3. So your fortune in your life is like it
In your death this system applies

4. You deserved that marble
And others deserved this pebbles

5. But you deserved to be saved
And we deserve more than you the pigeons

6. So what is to be hoped when
Our homelands are deserted by their generous people

7. And we are in a generation that loyalty has avoided
Multi-faced, weak-minded

8. Drinking from the cups of joy
In a country that suffers and people are wronged

9. You strove with souls for it and it
Did not erect for you a shrine

10. Oh you wasted souls, your souls
In a nation whose morals are diseased

11. In a nation whose path is regressive
As if its eyes see not the future

12. The news of its butchers knocks it
Prospering, of high status

13. Jamal Pasha, oh sky bear witness
Descends in the west in the shade of peace

14. Descends in the west honored, so
Oh Lebanon record and remember oh Levant

15. A crime to the west not erased
From the essence of the east till Judgement Day
