أَنَا رُوحُ أُمَّتِي وَدِرْعُ الْكُمَاةِ

أَنَا امْرَأَةٌ لَكِنِّ رُعْبُ عُدَاتِي

I am the spirit of my nation and the shield of valor

I am a woman but terror to my foes

أَنَا أُمَّةٌ لا الأُمُّ تُنْجِبُ وُلْدَهَا

وَلا شَهْوَةٌ تَبْدُو لَدَى النَّظَرَاتِ

I am a nation, not a mother who gives birth to her child

Nor is desire evident in my glances

أَنَا الطُّهْرُ فِي هَذِي الْحَيَاةِ وَعِفَّتِي

تَفُوحُ إِذَا مَا سِرْتُ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ

I am purity in this life and my chastity

Exudes fragrance when I walk the paths

وَهَذَا حِجَابِي الْحِفْظُ مِنْ سَهْمِ غَادِرٍ

كَأَثْمَنِ دُرٍّ صِينَ فِي الصَّدَفَاتِ

And this is my veil, protecting me from the arrow of a treacherous foe

Like a precious pearl in oyster shells

أَنَا مَثَلِي الْخَنْسَاءُ نَنْصُرُ دِينَنَا

وَأُمْنِيَّةُ الأَعْدَاءِ أَخْسَرُ ذَاتِي

My role model is Khansa, we defend our religion

And the wish of enemies is to destroy myself

أَسِيرُ عَلَى دَرْبِ الْهَوَى أَمْقُتُ التُّقَى

حَيَاةَ الْهَوَى وَالْفِسْقِ وَالْعَاهِرَاتِ

I walk the path of passion, detesting piety

The life of passion, debauchery and harlots

أَرَادُوا حَيَاتِي وَالْكُؤُوسَ لِيُغْرِقُوا

شَبَابَ الْهُدَى فِي الْفِسْقِ وَالْغَانِيَاتِ

They wanted my life and cups to drown

The youth of guidance in vice and singers

أَرَادُوا مَصِيرِي بِئْسَ ذُلاًّ لأُمَّتِي

وَبِئْسَ هَلاكُ الأُسْدِ فِي الشَّهَوَاتِ

They wanted my fate, misery for my nation

And misery, the death of a lion in lust

يَزِينُونَ لِي دَرْبَ الْغَوَايَةِ وَالرَّدَى

يَقُولُونَ: إِنِّي نِصْفُ مُجْتَمَعَاتِي

They adorn for me the path of temptation and depravity

They say: I am half of my society

أَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ

أَنَا رَحْمَةٌ تُهْدَى وَهَبْتُ حَيَاتِي

Did they not realize that I am the people entirely

I am a mercy granted and I gave my life

أَنَا الرُّوحُ بَعْثِي لِلْحَيَاةِ لأُمَّتِي

وَقَدْ ظَنَّهَا الأَعْدَاءُ دُونَ الرُّفَاتِ

I am the soul, my resurrection is for the life of my nation

And enemies thought it was under coffin lids

سَأُنْجِبُ أَبْطَالاً يُعِيدُونَ مَجْدَنَا

جُيُوشًا مِنَ الْقَعْقَاعِ عِزَّ الْكُمَاةِ

I will give birth to heroes who will restore our glory

Armies of resolve, the glory of valor

سَأُرْضِعُهُمْ حُبَّ الشَّهَادَةِ وَالتُّقَى

وَنُصْرَةَ إِسْلامِي وَبَاسَ الأُبَاةِ

I will nurture them with love of martyrdom and piety

And the defense of my Islam and heroism

أَنَا النُّورُ بِي تَفْنَى دَيَاجِيرُ لَيْلِنَا

سَآتِي بِأَقْمَارٍ تُضِي الظُّلُمَاتِ

I am the light, with me the lanterns of our night will perish

I will come with moons that illuminate the darkness

وَيَوْمًا سَآتِي بِالشُّمُوسِ لِتُنْهِيَ الْـ

ـلَيَالِي الأَسَى وَالذُّلَّ وَالنِّقَمَاتِ

And one day I will come with suns to end the

Nights of sorrow, humiliation and grudges
