1. O Arab youth, may you be blessed in your youth
Stubborn in the face of injustice, raging

2. And may you be blessed among the lions, the strongest
In the fray, one sharp fang

3. And blessed is Syria's soil, dust
It embraced you, O its martyred youth

4. For you are immortal, even if you met
Your death, and endured difficulties

5. O Arab youth, Syria, peace
Return it, a sweet peace

6. And send it with the breezes, a fragrance
And radiance and healing elixir

7. I ask, my heart burdened
If I hurt it, swords would shine

8. Oh day that passes without turmoil
And the cruelty of an unjust one begets turmoil

9. And victims who meet their death unjustly
And a foe who aims only to hit his mark

10. Oh, would that we were but dust
When the sword does not spare even kin

11. And our country's foe never repented
Even if the clashing of swords made him repent

12. We asked him for peace but he did not answer us
He understood not the question or the answer

13. O Arab youth, martyred and wounded
And in chains, crossing the expanse

14. Upon your limbs we build edifices
And from your zeal we raise domes

15. In your cries, lightning and thunder
And rain pouring heavily

16. You stirred in our bosoms sorrows
And awakened our slumbering hopes

17. Through you we honor the spirit of rising
Above worldly life, of staunch hearts

18. What is worldly life but a mirage in desolation
Emitting heat, which seems to be vapor

19. If not for dear ones in it
We would not live in it, nor were we noble

20. If we bent before injustice, nor were we youth
The life of Arabs after you is vain

21. If they do not follow the right path
Are you not brothers of ours, noble ones

22. Whom we have lost, O sharp fangs
Are you not the best horsemen

23. At dawn, when souls and steeds are Arabian
And whoever avoids your fate

24. And scorns misfortunes and difficulties
Longing brings him close to the glory

25. That the highlands fold in their terrain
And hatred of a people who made us suffer

26. Brings us together with you
They appeared like harmless lambs for a while

27. But when the cloak was torn, wolves emerged
Slaves whose vile lives are licentiousness

28. Selfish, fearing no criticism
Slaves of money, desiring only

29. Sleep, food or drink
Of no use is their massive bodies

30. If their souls are in ruins
Our martyrs, we bid you farewell and move on

31. In your footsteps, raging lions
And we recall the blood you shed

32. That flowed red, dyeing the mountain paths
And we recall the souls you lost

33. Pure in origin, reaching for the clouds
And we recall you, all so valiant

34. Proud, who turned away and disappeared
Who in life was a magnificent lion

35. And after death became a shooting star
And we recall you when a wound bleeds

36. And the fire of the heart burns with inflammation
And we recall you when the days of injustice return

37. Oh days whose outcome is misery
Whoever wrongs the innocent, dies of sorrow

38. And his home falls into abject poverty
Our martyrs, peace upon you, sweet

39. Return it, an answered prayer
