ياأيُّها الجيلُ الجديدُ سلامُ
ألقت إليك بِثْقلِها الأعوامُ
O new generation, greetings
The years have burdened you with their weight
ورمْت بكلكلِها عليك فوادحٌ
مما تجنّى " السادرون " ، جسام
And disasters have assaulted you with their calamities
That the tyrants have harvested, their bodies
ألْقْت إليك وأنتَ أشرفُ ناهضٍ
ثقلَيهمْا الآمال والآلام
They have burdened you, though you are the noblest pioneer
With the weight of their hopes and sorrows
فرمى لكَ الماضي الأليم بِوزْرِهِ
ورنا لكَ المستَقبلُ البسام
So the painful past has burdened you with its burden
And the promising future has chanted poems to you
والحاضرُ المرتجّ بينهما شجاً
وتطُّلعاً تهفو به الأحلام
And the troubled present wandering between them
Yearning and dreaming floats upon it
ألقى إليك" الخائنون" نَتاجَ ما
سدروا وشطوا وارتَعَوْا وأساموا
The traitors have burdened you with the yield of
What they conspired, corrupted, tampered with and poisoned
والمخلصون ، رجاؤهم أن تنجلى
كُرَبٌ وأن يِلد الصباحَ ظلام
And the loyalists, their hope is that
Distress will clear and the dawn will give birth to darkness
ياأيُّها الجيلُ الجديدُ وطالما
لصقت بغير ذواتِها الأعلام
O new generation, for so long
Flags have been wrongly attached
ولطالما اشتطّ الطغاةُ وأرجفوا
للمصلحين وأقعدوا وأقاموا
For so long tyrants have raged
Silencing reformers, sitting, standing
سَمَّوكَ " هدّاماً " لأنكَ تَجْتَوي
ما البغيُ سَنَّ وما جنى الإِجرام
They called you "destroyer" because you reject
What injustice cultivated and corruption reaped
ولانك استمت العدالةَ خطةً
من في يديه النقضُ والإِبرام
And because you made justice your approach
From those whose role is abolishing and building
وغضِبت أن تجدَ الرعايا مَغْنَماً
بيدِ الرُّعاة كأنهم أنعام
And you were angry to find the subjects as livestock
In the hands of the shepherds as if they were cattle
وشجبت أنّ الحكم في قاموسِهِمْ
سوطٌ يشدُّ وشهوة وعُرام
And you denounced that in their dictionary
Rule is a whip, desire, and nudity
هوّنْ عليكَ فكلُّ ذلكَ فِريةُُ
تَفْنى . ويَبْقى السعي والإِقْدام
Be patient, all of that is nonsense
That will vanish, and effort and determination will remain
وكذاك كلُّ " مخرّبٍ " لرذيلة
بانٍ ، وكلُّ " مُعَمِّرٍ " هدّام
And so is every "destroyer" of vice
A builder, and every "immortalizer" a destroyer
