1. The Arabs have a house that is crumbling, O builder
It is called Syria and Lebanon

2. So rise and let us rebuild its dilapidated structures
And make its pillars encircle youth

3. For you know best the calamities that have befallen
Its people and homelands

4. And you are the first one hoped for by your nation
To repel the aggressions of time against it

5. And they are your soldiers, the countries' youth without whom
No edifices of glory can be built

6. They have rushed to you and you are their banner today
So be their vanguard in every arena

7. We do not incite them to rekindle conflicts
And brandish swords for fighting

8. Rather we want to see a bond
Between the two books, the Bible and Quran

9. And we have seen you have great sway over
Both parties of us, Muslim and Christian

10. So lead all our affections by your love
As you see sheep follow their shepherd

11. And strike down anyone sowing dissension and pay
No heed to a shaykh or bishop

12. Enough of politics and its greedy ambitions
Dividing us over religions

13. Were it not for its pitfalls our side would not be weak
Nor would a tear have flown from a Qahtani eye

14. So let our people mend the rift by their solidarity
Around a unifier, brothers to brothers

15. For solidarity is the ladder of success when
A country strives, aspiring for prosperity

16. O youth who shone one night that
With their rising envied stars in April

17. May God protect you - has the lion of calamities left
Its lair or do I see radiant gazelles

18. Each prey escaped and smooth of brow flowed
In its cheeks flourishing, fresh youth

19. Who honor the benevolent youth, their chieftain
The manly youth, succor of the suffering supplicant

20. In every gathering supervised by morning, he walked
To it, surrounded by his clan and Ghassan's clan

21. And his rhymes have delighted us, gleaming
As delighting as compositions and melodies

22. Good tidings to the youth - their leader has come
To the glory with steps and benevolence

23. So give solace to the anxious homeland,
Life is but two days, and two contrary days

24. And augur good fortune rising over it
After distresses and sorrows

25. The beloved sage has emerged, so the youth
Have armored themselves with him, not fleeting

26. Live long, O leader of a country that you alone have united
For the country has one leader, not two leaders
