كَأسُ الخطُوب بذا العدُوّ دِهاقُ

والدين قلبُه واجفٌ خَفّاق

The cup of sorrows boils with enemies

Whose hearts of religion are timid and trembling

وجَب الدهادُ بني بلادِي فانهَضُوا

أليومَ يعذُبُ للحِمَام مَذَاق

The time has come my countrymen, arise

Today the doves' cooing has an afflicted taste

وجَب الجِهَادُ بني بِلادي فَليكُن

مِنكم لِميدَانِ الجِهادِ سِبَاق

The time for jihad has come my countrymen

Let there be from you a race to the battlefield

يومُ الوغَى نَشتاقُه كَيمَابِه

تُشفَى نفوسٌ للوَغَى تَتشتَاق

The day of battle we yearn like an ardent lover

To quench souls thirsty for the fury of war

وإذا أُرِيقَت في الجِهاد دِماؤُكُم

فكذَا دماءُ المُسلمين تُرَاق

And when your blood is spilt in the name of jihad

It will be as the blood of Muslims gushing forth

هذا عدُوُّ الدينِ والإسلامِ قد

كشَرت علَى أنيابِه الأشداق

This is the enemy of religion and Islam

Baring fangs and gluttonous jaws

قُدَّامكم يرجُو ابتلاَعَ بلادِكُم

هيهاتَ طعمُ المسلمين زُعَاقُ

Before you he hopes to devour your lands

Never! The taste of Muslims to him is bitter poison

عَجَبِي مِن الدُّتشِي يعرِفُ قَدرَه

ويؤُمُّ بيضَ الهِندِ وهى رِقَاقُ

Wondrous is the German who knows his worth

Yet suckles on the milky teats of India, weak and cringing

إِن كان دَاءُ الجهلِ أعمَاه فكَم

داءٌ له ضربُ الطِّلاَ تِريَاق

If the disease of ignorance has blinded him, how many

Diseases strike those who imbibe poison as remedy

ما حلَّ طليانُ الرَّدَى في بَلدةٍ

إلا وحلَّ القتلُ والإِرهَاقُ

Wherever the curse of the vile has settled on a land

Killing and torment quickly befell its people

ما حلَّ طليانُ الجِيَاع بِسَاحة

إلا وعمَّ الفقرُ والإملاَق

Wherever the curse of the wretched came to a field

Poverty and misery became widespread

فسَلُوا طرابُلُس الشَّهيدةَ إذ رأَت

عمَّا رأت إن سمعُ ذاكَ يُطَاقُ

Ask martyred Tripoli what horrors it saw

If the hearing of that can be borne

لِلَّهِ كَم مِن عَالمٍ سِيمَ الرَّدَى

وَلِرُوحِه التعذِيبُ وَالإِزهَاق

How many scholars of repute drank the cursed cup

Their souls tortured and extinguished

حَملُوا على مَتنِ السَّحابِ أَئِمةً

بِيضَ اللِّحَى لِوُجُوهِهِم إشرَاق

Carried upon the clouds were venerable imams

White of beard and luminous of face

وأرَوهُمُ وَجهَ الثَّرى ورَمَوا بهِم

والدمعُ مِن أجفَانِهم مُهرَاق

They were shown the visage of the dust and tossed aside

Tears streaming from their eyes poured forth

وفَتاةُ طُهرٍ لَم تَعُد واحسرَتِي

تِلكَ الفَتَاةَ فَجُرحُهَا دَفَّاق

And a pure maiden, what calamity, how woeful

That maiden whose deep wound gushed blood

يَا للَمُصَاب ويَا لِهَولِهِ إِلى إلَى ال

مَكرُوهِ عَذراءُ العَفَافِ تُسَاق

Oh what tribulation, oh what horror

To where she was led - the chaste virgin dragged

بُقِرَت بُطونُ الأمهَاتِ عَلَى أَجِن

نَتِها وكَان نَصِيبَهَا الإِحرَاقُ

The bellies of mothers slit open over their fetuses

And their portion was conflagration

هذِي الدُّمُوعُ وَهذِي آمَاقُهَا

فسَلُوا متَى ضَنَّت بهَا الآمَاقُ

These are tears and their wellsprings

Ask when have wellsprings held back their water

قد مَثَّلُوا بِالبَعض أَشنعَ مُثلَةٍ

وَالبَعضُ مِنهم تُسمَلُ الأحدَاقُ

Some were mutilated in the most gruesome way

While others had their eyes gouged out

تَاريخَ أندلسٍ بِربِّك لاَ تَعُد

ولَيَبقَ منكَ علَى الورَى إشفَاقُ

Do not repeat the history of Andalusia

Let your legacy be but fervent compassion

واعلَم بأنَّ القَلبَ يَخفِقُ عِندَ ذِك

رِك والحزِينُ فُؤَادُه خَفَّاقُ

Know that hearts tremble and quake

When you are remembered, their ardent throbbing

إِن أَرعَدُوا أو أبرَقُوا حَاشا بِأَن

يُغوِيكُم الإِرعَادُ وَالإِبرَاقُ

If they thunder or lightening, beware

That thunder and lightening lead you not astray

هَذا الوِفَاقُ وهَذِه آيَاتُهُ

مَا خَابَ فِي يَوم اللِّقَاءِ وِفَاقُ

This is harmony and these are its signs

Never failed on the day of meeting are kindred spirits

أبنِي بِلاَدِي ذَا العَدوُّ بِبَابِكم

هَيَّا بِنا ومُعِينُنا الخَلاَّقُ

My countrymen, the enemy is at your door

To arms, our helper is the Creator
