1. We emerged from prison inhaling the scents
As the lion emerges from its forest

2. We pass by the edges of swords
And we approach death through its door

3. And we refuse life, if it is defiled
By the tyrants' oppression and terrorism

4. And we scorn major events
If they obstruct us with their troubles

5. And we know that destiny is inevitable
And that matters have their causes

6. Our nation will know that we
Embarked on dangers for its affection

7. So if we win, oh how long
Hardships will submit to their seekers

8. And if we meet our end, oh how wonderful
Is death... it comes to its wooers

9. We disliked staying in a nation
That is trampled under the feet of its masters

10. And we marched to escape from its disgrace
With dignity, and to rid ourselves of its blemish

11. And how many snakes coil around us
Yet we slip through between their fangs
