تَبْكي عَلَيْكَ العَيْنُ يا وَطَني

تَبْكي عَلَيْكَ العَيْنُ يا وَطَني

ويَنوحُ صَوْتُ الدَّمْعِ في الأُذُنِ

ويَنوحُ صَوْتُ الدَّمْعِ في الأُذُنِ

The eye weeps for you, O my homeland,

My eyes weep for you, my homeland,

And the sound of tears wails in the ear.

And the voice of tears laments in the ear,

ويَذوبُ قَلْبِي لِلنَّوَى سَقَمًا

ويَذوبُ قَلْبِي لِلنَّوَى سَقَمًا

وتَموتُ نَفْسِي اليَوْمَ في الشَّجَنِ

وتَموتُ نَفْسِي اليَوْمَ في الشَّجَنِ

And my heart melts, sick with separation,

My heart melts with longing and becomes ill,

And my soul dies today in sorrow.

And my soul dies today in agony.

وتَظَلُّ في بالِي حِكايَتُنا

وتَظَلُّ في بالِي حِكايَتُنا

نارًا عَلَى نارٍ مَعَ الزَّمَنِ

نارًا عَلَى نارٍ مَعَ الزَّمَنِ

And our story remains in my mind,

Our story remains a fire upon fire over time in my mind,

Fire upon fire as time goes by.

And our plight grows with the days,

وتَزيدُ في الأَيّامِ نَكْبَتُنا

وتَزيدُ في الأَيّامِ نَكْبَتُنا

ما بَيْنَ ثَوْبِ الحُزْنِ والكَفَنِ

ما بَيْنَ ثَوْبِ الحُزْنِ والكَفَنِ

And our calamity grows as the days pass,

Between the garb of sadness and shroud.

Between the garment of sorrow and the shroud.

We increase it with our separation and the breach between the secret and the open...

وَنَزيدُها فَتْكًا بِفُرْقَتِنا

وَنَزيدُها فَتْكًا بِفُرْقَتِنا

والخُلْفِ بَيْنَ السِّرِّ والعَلَنِ ...

والخُلْفِ بَيْنَ السِّرِّ والعَلَنِ ...

And we make it more deadly through our division

Will we return, my people, to our oneness,

And the discord between what is hidden and what is open...

With the guidance of previous ways,

أَنَعودُ يا شَعْبي لِوَحْدَتِنا

أَنَعودُ يا شَعْبي لِوَحْدَتِنا

يَهْدِي خُطانا سَالِفُ السَّنَنِ

يَهْدِي خُطانا سَالِفُ السَّنَنِ

Shall we return, O my people, to our unity,

To reunite us in confidence,

With the ways of old guiding our steps,

The love of life and defense of the homeland?!

لِيَعودَ يَجْمَعُنا عَلَى ثِقَةٍ

لِيَعودَ يَجْمَعُنا عَلَى ثِقَةٍ

حُبُّ الحَياةِ ونُصْرَةُ الوَطَنِ ؟!

حُبُّ الحَياةِ ونُصْرَةُ الوَطَنِ ؟!

So that we may once more be united in trust

By love of life and support for the homeland?!
