نَحنُ لَم نَحمِلِ السُيوفِ لِهَدرٍ

نَحنُ لَم نَحمِلِ السُيوفِ لِهَدرٍ

بَل لِإِحقاقِ ضائِعٍ مَهدورِ

بَل لِإِحقاقِ ضائِعٍ مَهدورِ

We did not bear swords for wanton bloodshed,

We did not bear swords for ruin,

but to vindicate a right lost and violated.

But for restoring what was lost and plundered.

نَحنُ لَم نَرفَعِ المَشاعِلَ لِلحَر

نَحنُ لَم نَرفَعِ المَشاعِلَ لِلحَر

قِ وَلكِن لِلهَديِ وَالتَنويرِ

قِ وَلكِن لِلهَديِ وَالتَنويرِ

We did not raise torches for burning,

We did not raise torches for mischief,

but for guidance and enlightenment.

But for guidance and enlightenment.

نَحنُ لَم نَطعَنِ الضَميرَ وَلكِن

نَحنُ لَم نَطعَنِ الضَميرَ وَلكِن

بِقَنانا اِحتَمى طَعينُ الضَميرِ

بِقَنانا اِحتَمى طَعينُ الضَميرِ

We did not stab the conscience; rather,

We did not stab conscience, but rather,

the one wounded in conscience sought shelter in our spears.

With our spears conscience's stab was protected.

كانَ فينا نَصرُ الضَعيفِ المُعَنّى

كانَ فينا نَصرُ الضَعيفِ المُعَنّى

وَاِنجِبارُ المُحَطَّمِ المَكسورِ

وَاِنجِبارُ المُحَطَّمِ المَكسورِ

In us lay support for the tormented weak,

In us was the aid of the oppressed,

and mending for the shattered and broken.

And the repair of the shattered and broken.

أُمَّتي إِن تَجرؤْ عَلَيكِ الزَعاما

أُمَّتي إِن تَجرؤْ عَلَيكِ الزَعاما

تُ فَلا تَيأَسي ذَريها وَسيري

تُ فَلا تَيأَسي ذَريها وَسيري

My nation, if the leaders dare defy you,

My nation, if leaders should oppress you,

do not despair; leave them and march on.

Do not despair, go forth and proceed.

القَديمُ الجَميلُ ريشُ جَناحَي

القَديمُ الجَميلُ ريشُ جَناحَي

كِ فَرَفِّي في العالَمينَ وَطيري

كِ فَرَفِّي في العالَمينَ وَطيري

The beautiful past is the plumage of your two wings;

The beautiful old is the feather of your wings,

so flutter through the worlds and fly.

So flutter through the worlds and fly.
