في مثل هذا اليوم ريعت أمتي
بالاحتلال ونالها ما نالها
On a day like this my nation blossomed
On a day like this, my nation was struck with terror
With occupation and was afflicted as it was
By the occupation, and it endured what it endured.
ولعل من جعل الصليب يظلها
سينير من خلف الغيوم هلالها
Perhaps He who kept the cross shading it
Perhaps He who allowed the Cross to cast its shadow over it
Will enlighten its crescent from behind the clouds
Will make its Crescent shine from behind the clouds.
