My heart roams embracing al-Aqsa, do not worry,

يا قدس صبرا

1. My heart roams embracing al-Aqsa, do not worry,
Weep oceans of blood and shed tears over the sanctuaries,

١. طُفْ خَاطِرِي عَانِقِ الأَقْصَى وَلا تَهِمِ
وَابْكِ الْبُحُورَ دَمًا وَاذْرِفْ عَلَى الْحُرُمِ

2. Convey my greetings, longing and apologize to a young man,
Who lives a prisoner so he only possesses words,

٢. بَلِّغْ سَلامِي وَشَوْقِي وَاعْتَذِرْ لِفَتًى
يَحْيَا أَسِيرًا فَلَمْ يَمْلِكْ سِوَى الْكَلِمِ

3. Even my poem is a prisoner like its poet,
But one day it will sacrifice itself like a raging fire,

٣. حَتَّى قَرِيضِي أَسِيرٌ مِثْلُ شَاعِرِهِ
لَكِنَّ يَوْمًا سَيُضْحِي فِيهِ كَالْحِمَمِ

4. Yearning for al-Aqsa, for my Jerusalem has ignited,
My passion and affection are fires of pain,

٤. ثَارَ الْحَنِينُ إِلَى الأَقْصَى إِلَى قُدُسِي
شَوْقِي وَوَجْدِيَ نِيرَانٌ مِنَ الأَلَمِ

5. Meeting has become impossible while yearning drives me,
And the one with borders has prisons, so be patient,

٥. قَدِ اسْتَحَالَ اللِّقَا وَالشَّوْقُ يَدْفَعُنِي
وَذِي الْحُدُودُ سُجُونٌ فَارْوَ بِالْحُلُمِ

6. For the young man's drop of water saves him in the desert,
And dreaming comforts him in captivity and among the clouds,

٦. فَقَطْرُ مَاءِ الْفَتَى فِي الْبِيدِ يُنْقِذُهُ
وَالْحُلْمُ يُسْلِيهِ فِي أَسْرٍ وَفِي الْغَمَمِ

7. So carry its soil and kiss its land and stop
At the rock recall the days of glory and generosity,

٧. فَاحْمِلْ ثَرَاهَا وَقَبِّلْ أَرْضَهَا وَقِفَا
بِالصَّخْرَةِ اذْكُرْ زَمَانَ الْعِزِّ وَالْكَرَمِ

8. Recall the days of Salah al-Din and weep over a time,
When tyrants and people of aggression rose among the nations,

٨. اذْكُرْ زَمَانَ صَلاحٍ وَابْكِ مِنْ زَمَنٍ
عَلا الطُّغَاةُ وَأَهْلُ البَغْيِ فِي الأُمَمِ

9. They united their ranks; was there among them
Anything but eliminating Islam from their duties?!

٩. قَدْ وَحَّدُوا صَفَّهُمْ؛ هَلْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمُ
إِلاَّ الْقَضَاءَ عَلَى الإِسْلامِ مِنْ ذِمَمِ؟!

10. As for when they stand against the Jews, you will not
See them as anything but herds of sheep!

١٠. وَالْعُرْبُ حُكَّامُهُمْ أُسْدٌ إِذَا وَقَفُوا
ضِدَّ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي أَضْحَتْ كَمَا الرِّمَمِ

11. To them, war is "run and run", forever,
Their armies, their shields of the people's revolt,

١١. قَتْلٌ وَتَعْذِيبُ أَحْرَارٍ وَبَاسُهُمُ
مَا لانَ يَوْمًا فَلا نِدٌّ لِذِي الْهِمَمِ

12. They are the tyrants, the heads of humiliation, their cunning
Is the cunning of devils, bodies of darkness,

١٢. فَلَوْ أَتَاهُمْ صَلاحُ الدِّينِ لانْتَفَضُوا
فَصَارَ فِي الأَسْرِ أَوْ رَدُّوهُ لِلرَّجَمِ

13. They fought the banner of Islam and invented
Banners of oppression and their humiliation for the Arabs

١٣. وَصَارَ عِنْدَهُمُ رَاسَ التَّطَرُّفِ وَالْـ
ـإِرْهَابِ صَارَ عَمِيلاً بَاغِيَ الْحُكُمِ

14. The more days passed their rule but dive
Into the depths of disgrace and vengeance,

١٤. أَمَّا إِذَا وُقِفُوا ضِدَّ الْيَهُودِ فَلَنْ
تَرَاهُمُ غَيْرَ قُطْعَانٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ!

15. My heart roams embracing the sighs from its blood,
Its pains pour out sighs from my pain,

١٥. فَالْحَرْبُ (فَرٌّ وَفَرٌّ) عِنْدَهُمْ أَبَدًا
جُيُوشُهُمْ دِرْعُهُمْ مِنْ ثَوْرَةِ الْعَمَمِ

16. Make them a curse that destroys the tyrants and those
Who betrayed the covenants and live like cattle,

١٦. هُمُ الطُّغَاةُ رُؤُوسُ الذُّلِّ كَيْدُهُمُ
كَيْدُ الشَّيَاطِينِ أَجْسَادٌ مِنَ الظُّلُمِ

17. Today they write in history an epic
Despite the treason, sins and worries,

١٧. قَدْ حَارَبُوا رَايَةَ الإِسْلامِ وَاخْتَرَعُوا
لِلْعُرْبِ رَايَاتِ طُغْيَانٍ وَذُلِّهِمِ

18. Their women have woven the glory of our nation
Widowed and bereaved carrying the orphanhood,

١٨. وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّتِ الأَيَّامُ مَا حَكَمُوا
نَهْوِي بِأَعْمَاقِ بَحْرِ الْهُونِ وَالنِّقَمِ

19. Drowned in an ocean of anguish with no scream seen
They became mountains of patience and determination,

١٩. طُفْ خَاطِرِي عَانِقِ الآهَاتِ مِنْ دَمِهَا
آلامُهَا تَسْفِكُ الآهَاتِ مِنْ أَلَمِي

20. They upheld a covenant so we see it today
And its grave was between al-Quds and dreams,

٢٠. وَاجْعَلْهُمَا لَعْنَةً تُرْدِي الطُّغَاةَ وَمَنْ
خَانَ الْعُهُودَ وَمَنْ يَحْيَا كَمَا النَّعَمِ

21. They became like Khansa’ in sacrifice and devotion
They became, for us, like light in the darkness,

٢١. تُسَطِّرُ اليَوْمَ فِي التَّارِيخِ مَلْحَمَةً
رَغْمَ الخِيَانَةِ وَالإِجْرَامِ وَالغَمَمِ

22. They gifted our nation a generation of heroes
They fed it the pride of the free and the resolute

٢٢. نِسَاؤُهَا قَدْ نَسَجْنَ العِزَّ أَرْدِيَةً
ثَكْلَى وَأَرْمَلَةٌ حَمَّالَةُ اليُتُمِ

23. How many children’s joy they burn
Orphans and displaced or live under the rubble,

٢٣. غَرْقَى بِبَحْرِ الأَسَى وَلا صَرِيخَ يُرَى
صِرْنَ الْجِبَالَ مِنَ السُّلْوانِ وَالهِمَمِ

24. But these are the Khansa’s sons, how strange!
A baby’s cry is a horrifying roar to the enemies

٢٤. أَحْيَيْنَ عَهْدًا فَصِرْنَا اليَوْمَ نُبْصِرُهُ
وَقَبْرُهُ كَانَ بَيْنَ الْقَصِّ وَالحُلُمِ

25. Their boys are like lions fearing no confrontation
O for the rocks of might and conquest!

٢٥. أَضْحَيْنَ خَنْسَاءَ فِي بَذْلٍ وَتَضْحِيَةٍ
أَضْحَيْنَ هُنَّ لَنَا كَالنُّورِ فِي الغَسَمِ

26. O for the hands that hurl them recoiled!
As if with light they hurl them on the enemies

٢٦. أَهْدَيْنَ جِيلاً مِنَ الأَبْطَالِ أُمَّتَنَا
أَرْضَعْنَهُ عِزَّةَ الأَحْرَارِ وَالصِّمَمِ

27. O for the souls sold sacrificially!
O for the bare chests of illusions!

٢٧. كَمْ يَحْرِقُونَ مِنَ الأَطْفَالِ فَرْحَتَهُمْ
يُتْمٌ وَتشْرِيدٌ اوْ يَحْيَوْنَ فِي الرَّجَمِ

28. O for the innocence as it rose terrifying!
O for the hearts that are pure from defeat!

٢٨. لَكِنْ أُولاءِ بَنُو الخَنْسَاءِ وَا عَجَبَا
بُكَا الرَّضِيعِ زَئِيرٌ رَاعِبُ العُجُمِ

29. Their youth are the crescent of our nation
Like a star in the desert or the full moon in the darkness

٢٩. صِبْيَانُهَا كَأَسُودٍ لا تَهَابُ رَدًى
يَا لَلْحِجَارَةِ مِنْ بَاسٍ وَمِنْ غُنُمِ!

30. The sound of bombs has become a rhythm for them
O nation drowned in dance and tunes

٣٠. يَا لَلأَيَادِي الَّتِي تُلْقِي بِهَا سَلِمَتْ!
كَأَنَّهَا بِالضِّيَا تُلْقِي عَلَى الدُّهُمِ

31. Passion for martyrdom has scented their hearts
O nation drowned in passion and resolve

٣١. يَا لَلنُّفُوسِ الَّتِي تُشْرَى مُضَحِّيَةً!
يَا لَلصُّدُورِ الَّتِي تَعْرَى مِنَ الوَهَمِ!

32. They are like falcons, their prey never missed
They are like lions, never fearing nations

٣٢. يَا لَلْبَرَاءَةِ إِذْ ثَارَتْ مُفَزِّعَةً
يَا لَلْقُلُوبِ الَّتِي تَصْفُو مِنَ الهَزَمِ!

33. Ascetics by night, marvel at their tears
Are they doves or lions before the throngs?!

٣٣. شَبَابُهَا غُرَّةٌ فِي وَجْهِ أُمَّتِنَا
كَالنَّجْمِ فِي البِيدِ أَوْ كَالْبَدْرِ فِي الْعَتَمِ

34. Or are they the vanguards of good tidings, our victory
Erasing an era of sorrows and vengeance

٣٤. صَوْتُ القَنَابِلِ قَدْ أَضْحَى لَهُمْ طَرَبًا
يَا أُمَّةً غَرِقَتْ فِي الرَّقْصِ وَالنَّغَمِ

35. Good tidings of the Prophet, they revive hearts
Not bothered by traitors or defeated

٣٥. عِشْقَ الشَّهَادَةِ قَدْ فَاحَتْ قُلُوبُهُمُ
يَا أُمَّةً غَرِقَتْ فِي العِشْقِ وَالوَصَمِ

36. O Jerusalem, patience, for your sighs have kindled
In the soul of every patriot oppressed

٣٦. هُمْ كَالصُّقُورِ فَلَمْ تُخْطِئْ فَرَائِسَهَا
هُمْ كَالأُسُودِ فَلَمْ تَرْهَبْ مِنَ الأُمَمِ

37. Your blood is dearer to the free than theirs
Tomorrow you will rise against tyranny like raging fire

٣٧. رُهْبَانُ لَيْلٍ لِتَعْجَبْ مِنْ مَدَامِعِهِمْ
أَهُمْ حَمَائِمُ أَمْ أُسْدٌ لَدَى الأَجَمِ؟!

38. O Lord, I am counted among its poets so help me
And make me one of its lions in its heated war

٣٨. أَمْ هُمْ طَلائِعُ بِشْرٍ نَصْرُ أُمَّتِنَا
يَمْحُونَ عَهْدًا مِنَ الأَحْزَانِ وَالنِّقَمِ

39. O Lord, quench its soil with the blood of a young man
Who hopes to meet You, fulfilling his promises

٣٩. بُشْرَى النَّبِيِّ هُمُ تَحْيَا القُلُوبُ بِهِمْ
لا يَعْبَؤُونَ بِخَوَّانٍ وَمُنْهَزِمِ

٤٠. يَا قُدْسُ صَبْرًا فَذِي آهَاتُكِ اسْتَعَرَتْ
فِي نَفْسِ كُلِّ أَبِيٍّ نَاءَ بِالضَّيَمِ

٤١. دِمَاكِ أَغْلَى عَلَى الأَحْرَارِ مِنْ دَمِهِمْ
غَدًا تَثُورُ عَلَى الطُّغْيَانِ كَالْحِمَمِ

٤٢. يَا رَبِّ مِنْ شُعَرَائِهَا عُدِدْتُ فَجُدْ
وَاجْعَلْنِ مِنْ أُسْدِهَا فِي حَرْبِهَا الحَدَمِ

٤٣. يَا رَبِّ وَارْوِ ثَرَاهَا مِنْ دِمَاءِ فَتًى
يَرْجُو لِقَاها نَصِيرًا مُوفِيَ الذِّمَمِ
