1. لا يشقَّنا أَربُ

    نَحنُ كلنا عصبُ

    Let no desire divide us;

    We are all sinews.

  2. في نُفوسِنا خُلُقٌ

    لِلوِئامِ يَنتَسِبُ

    In our souls is a virtue

    That belongs to harmony.

  3. في قُلوبِنا هممٌ

    في صُدورِنا رَحَبُ

    In our hearts are aspirations;

    In our breasts is spaciousness.

  4. في دِمائِنا شَرَفٌ

    في عُروقِنا حَسَبُ

    In our blood is honor;

    In our veins is ancestral nobility.

  5. في سُيوفِنا شَرَرٌ

    في يَراعِنا أَدبُ

    In our swords are sparks;

    In our reed pens is literature.

  6. نَحنَ أُمَّةٌ غَضِبَت

    أَن يَسوسَها الغَضَبُ

    We are a nation outraged

    That anger should rule it.

  7. فَالسَلامُ رائِدُها

    لا الشِقاقُ وَالعَطبُ

    So peace is its guide,

    Not discord and ruin.

  8. ماؤُها يُمازِجُه

    في مُروجِها الضَربُ

    Its water is mingled

    In its meadows with white honey.

  9. كَم فَوارِسٍ أُسُدٍ

    من صَفائِهِ شَرِبوا

    How many horsemen, lions all,

    Have drunk of its purity!

  10. لا تغرَّكُم رُتبٌ

    حقلُكُم هُوَ الرُتبُ

    Let no ranks deceive you;

    Your field is rank itself.

  11. فَاِنفَضوا ثَراهُ فَفي

    ذلِكَ الثَرى ذَهبُ

    So stir its soil, for in

    That soil lies gold.

  12. كَم جَلالَةٍ رَقَدَت

    ملءَ عَينِها لَهبُ

    How much majesty has lain asleep,

    With flame filling its eye,

  13. في مَدافِنٍ رَصَدَت

    كَنزَ مَجدِها الحَقبُ

    In tombs, where watch was kept

    Over the treasure of its glory by the ages.

  14. إِن لِلخُلودِ هَوىً

    في البِلادِ يَنسَكِبُ

    Indeed, a longing for immortality

    Pours forth through the land.

  15. فَاِحذَروا اِنقِسامَكُم

    فَالبِلاد تَضطَرِبُ

    So beware your division,

    For the land is in turmoil.
