شبابَ مُحمّدٍ سيروا سِراعا

ولا تَدَعُوا الكِفاحَ ولا القِراعا

Youth of Muhammad, march—and swiftly!

Never forsake the struggle, nor the clash of arms.

رأيتُ النّصرَ أمراً مُستطاعا

وأُسدُ الغيِلِ تَأْبَى أن تُراعا

I have seen that victory is attainable.

The lions of the thicket refuse to be daunted.

خُذوا الغاياتِ وانْطلقُوا تِباعا

خُذوا الأبطالَ قَرْماً بعد قَرْمِ

Seize your goals and set forth in succession.

Lay hold of the champions, mighty one after mighty one.

وخُوضوا الحربَ بالأَهوالِ تَرْمِي

كَفَى ما امْتدَّ من دَعَةٍ وسِلْمِ

Plunge into war as it hurls its terrors.

Enough of prolonged ease and peace.

كَفَى ما اشتدَّ من كَرْبٍ وهمِّ

كَفَى ما خَابَ مِن أَملٍ وَضَاعا

Enough of mounting anguish and care.

Enough of hopes that failed and came to nothing.

شبابَ مُحمّدٍ صُونوا اللّواءَ

وكونوا في الجهادِ له فِداءَ

Youth of Muhammad, safeguard the banner.

And in jihad, be its willing sacrifice.

أَمْنَ يَتقلّدُ السُّوَرَ الوِضاءَ

يَخافُ الرَّوْعَ أو يَخْشَى اللّقاءَ

Can one who bears the radiant surahs

fear terror, or dread the encounter?

دِفاعاً عن محارمكم دِفاعا

أقيموا الدّينَ والدُّنيا جميعا

Defend your sacred things—defend them!

Uphold religion and worldly life together.

وَقُوموا فاجْمعوا الشَّملَ الصَّديعا

هلمّوا فاطلبوا الشّأنَ الرّفيعا

Rise, and gather the unity split asunder.

Come—seek the exalted station.

أيْجمُلُ أن نَذِلَّ وأن نَضِيعا

ونُطعِمَ لَحمنا القومَ الجِياعا

Is it fitting that we be humbled and lost,

and feed our flesh to the hungry peoples?

لَنا مِن دِيننا سَبَبٌ مَتينُ

ومِن إِيمان أَنفُسِنا مُعينُ

In our religion we have a firm bond,

and in our own faith, a source of aid.

لنا من ربّنا فتحٌ مُبينُ

ونصرٌ يَستطيرُ له رَنينُ

From our Lord we have manifest victory,

and a triumph whose ringing flies afar.

يَهُزُّ الأرضَ أو يطوِي البِقاعا

بَنِي الدُّنيا سَلوا التاريخَ عنّا

It shakes the earth or sweeps across the lands.

Children of the world, ask history about us.

أَلَسْنا أرفعَ الأقوامِ شأنا

رسولُ اللهِ والخُلفاءُ مِنّا

Are we not the foremost of peoples in stature?

God’s Messenger and the caliphs are from among us.

بَنَوْا لِلخُلدِ ما شاءوا وشِئنا

فَهُمْ في الذُّروة العُليا ارتفاعا

They built for immortality what they wished—and what we wished.

Thus they stand rising upon the highest summit.
