يَا أَخِي الْمَاسُورَ فِي سِجْنِ الْحِمَامِ

هَلْ يَكُونُ الْيَوْمَ مِثْلَ الصَّبْرِ حَامِ؟

O my fellow prisoner in the jail of oppression

Will today be like patience, protector?

إِنْ تُعِزَّ الدِّينَ ذَا الْيَوْمَ تَكُنْ

قَدْ صَدَقْتَ اللهَ فِي مَاضِي الْكَلامِ

If you strengthen the faith today

You will have proven God's word true in the past

قَدْ أَرَدْتَ الْخُلْدَ بِالدُّنْيَا فَيَا

عِشْ حَيَاةَ الْعِزِّ فِي دُنْيَا الْكِرَامِ

You wanted eternity through worldliness, so

Live the life of dignity in the world of nobility

دَعْكَ مِمَّنْ بَاعَ دِينًا وَإِبَا

كَيْ يَهِيمَ الْعُمْرَ فِي دُنْيَا اللِّئَامِ

Leave those who sold their religion so

They can live aimlessly in the world of scoundrels

يَا أَخِي النَّصْرُ تَرَاءَى هَلْ تَرَى

وَقُلُوبُ الصِّدْقِ مِنْ خَلْفِ الْغَمَامِ

O brother, victory is in sight, do you see it?

And the hearts of truth behind the clouds?

قَامَ لِلدِّينِ رِجَالٌ قَدَّمُوا

حَظَّ دُنْيَاهُمْ وَعَيْشًا فِي جَمَامِ

Men stood up for the faith, sacrificing

Their worldly goods and living in hardship

كَيْ يَسُودَ الدِّينُ وَالنُّورُ الدُّجَى

وَيُفَكَّ الأَسْرُ عَنْ عَانٍ مُضَامِ

So that the faith prevails and light overcomes darkness

And chains are lifted from the oppressed

يَا أَخِي انْصُرْ صَامِدًا إِسْلامَنَا

لا تُبَالِي السَّوْطَ أَوْ لُقْيَا الْحِمَامِ

O brother, support our steadfast Islam

Don't worry about the whip or swallowing poison

هَلْ أَضَاعَ الْحُرُّ عُمْرًا بِالإِبَا

هَلْ يَزِيدُ الْعُمْرُ مِنْ خَفْرِ الذِّمَامِ؟!

Has the freeman wasted his life in servitude?

Does life increase through the disgrace of servility?!

فَلْتَكُنْ لَيْثًا إِذَا كَانَ الْوَغَى

وَلْتَكُنْ طَوْدًا عَظِيمًا فِي الْجِسَامِ

So be a lion when battle rages

And be a towering giant among bodies

يَا أَخِي لا تَرْهَبَنْ طُغْيَانَهُمْ

أَفَلِلإِيمَانِ خَوْفٌ مِنْ طَغَامِ؟

O brother, do not fear their tyranny

Does faith fear the tyrants?

وَلَئِنْ عِشْنَا زَمَانًا فِي الدُّجَى

كُنْ كَنُورِ الْبَدْرِ يَزْهُو فِي الظَّلامِ

And if we live for a while in darkness

Be like the full moon's light in the night

وَلَئِنْ آلَمَنَا جُرْحٌ طَغَى

لَجِرَاحُ الْكُفْرِ تُرْوَى مِنْ آلامِي

And if a wound hurts us, it will heal

The wounds of disbelief heal through my pains

وَجِرَاحُ السِّلْمِ تَدْمَى لِلشِّفَا

وَجِرَاحُ الْكُفْرِ تَدْمَى لِلْحِمَامِ

And the wounds of peace bleed for healing

While the wounds of disbelief bleed for destruction

فَلْتَكُنْ نُورًا إِذَا كَانَ الدُّجَى

فَلْتُعِزَّ الدِّينَ أَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ حَامِ

So be a light when there is gloom

And strengthen the faith today, protector
