فِلَسْطينُ في القَلْبِ قَبْلَ الدَّمِ
تَشَرَّفْتُ أَنِّي لَها أَنْتَمِي
Palestine in the heart before blood
I am honored that I belong to it
إِذا ما ذَكَرْتُ اسْمَها لِلْوِرَى
غَدَتْ لِاسْمِها نَغْمَةٌ في فَمِي
Whenever I mention its name to mankind
Its name becomes a melody in my mouth
بَدَأْتُ انْتِسابِي لها أَوَّلًا
وَزِدْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ أَخْتِمِ ...
I began my affiliation with it first
And I increased it and did not conclude...
وَلِلْقُدْسِ في النَّفْسِ قُدْسِيَّةٌ
تُعِيدُ إلَى البُرْءِ طَرْفَ العَمِي
And Al-Quds has in the soul a sanctity
That returns the sight of the blind to innocence
فِلَسْطِينُ ظَلِّي لنا مَوْطِنًا
ويا قُدْسُ دُومِي لَنا واسْلَمي!
Palestine is our sheltering shadow homeland
And O Jerusalem lasting be our peace!
ولا بُدَّ يا شَعْبَنا نَلْتَقِي
ظِمَاءً ، ويَرْوَى غَليلُ الظَّمِي
And we must, our people, meet
Thirsty, and the thirst of the thirsty is quenched
وفي القُدْسِ نُرْجِعُ ما فاتَنَا
مِنَ النُّورِ في لَيْلِنا المُعْتِمِ !!!
And in Al-Quds we restore what we missed
Of light in our dark night!!!
