إنَّ فَوْقَ البُروجِ عَرْشَ السَّماءِ
اسْقِطوهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ بُرْجِ الجَلاءِ
Above the constellations lies the Throne of Heaven
Cast it down beyond the radiant tower
وَاحْرِقوا أَوْجُهَ المَلائِكِ فيهِ
بَعْدَ حَرْقِ الأَطْفالِ والأَبْرِياءِ
And burn the faces of the angels within
After burning the children and the innocent
وَامْلَأُوا الأَرْضَ والسَّماءَ دَوِيًّا
يَمْنَعُ اللهَ مِنْ سَماعِ الدُّعاءِ
Fill the earth and sky with a resounding din
That prevents God from hearing supplication
وَاجْلِسوا في مَكانِهِ وَأَعيدوا
قِصَّةَ الخَلْقِ مِنْ بُروجِ العَلاءِ
Sit in His place and retell
The story of creation from the towers of splendor
وَارْقُصوا في سَمائِهِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ
فَوْقَ أَجْسادِنا عَلى الأَشْلاءِ
Dance in His heavens however you wish
Above our bodies strewn in pieces
أَنْتُمُ شَعْبُهُ ، ونَحْنُ سَنَبْقَى
في دُروبِ الصُّمودِ شَعْبَ الإِباءِ !
You are His people, while we shall remain
On the paths of steadfastness, the people of determination!
إِنْ تَكُنْ تَسْقُطُ البُروجُ عَلَيْنا
وتَمُدُّ السَّماءَ بِالشُّهَداءِ ....
If the towers fall upon us
And the sky rains down with martyrs....
فَلَنا مِنْ مَمَاتِنا يَوْمُ بَعْثٍ
ولَنَا رَغْبَةٌ بِطُولِ بَقاءِ
For us, there is a day of resurrection from our death
And we have a longing for longevity
ولَنَا مِنْ زُنودِنا أَلْفُ بُرْجٍ
تَصِلُ الأَرْضَ عِزَّةً بِالسَّماءِ ...
And from our arms, a thousand towers
Connecting the earth with the sky in dignity...
