1. We have sown but did not reap, while our ancestors
Whenever they sowed the seeds of love in our land, they reaped it
١. زرعنا فلم نحصدْ وكان جدودنا
متى يبذروا في أرضنا الحبَّ يحصدوا
2. It's not the homelands that were killed, but rather
Our plowshares were struck by rust, so they have become cold
٢. وما قتلَ المحلُ البلادَ وإنما
أصاب الصدا محراثنا فهو مبردُ
