أَبا شادي وَكُنتَ لَنا حَليفاً

نُجَرِّدُ لِلجِهادِ شَديدَ بِأسِكْ

O Father of the Lion and you were an ally to us

We strip for intense jihad

أَتَهدِمُ طولَ يَومِكَ ما بَنَتهُ

يَداكَ مِنَ المَعاقِلِ طولَ أَمسِكْ

You demolish throughout your day what your hands built

Of fortresses throughout your yesterday

أَما تَرعى ذِمامَ الحَربِ يَوماً

فَتَبعَثُها لِقَومِكَ أَو لِنَفسِكْ

Do you not tend the reins of war one day

To unleash it on your people or yourself

أَتَرضى أَن تَطيرَ إِذا التَحَمنا

مَلايينُ الرُؤوسِ لِأَجلِ رَأسِكْ

Are you content to flee when we clash

Millions of heads for the sake of your head

مَكانَكَ إِنَّنا لَأُولو رَجاءٍ

نَصولُ بِهِ وَأَنتَ صَريعُ يَأسِكْ

Your place, we are foremost in hope

We attack with it while you lie fallen in despair
