شعب يغني يوم عيد فخاره

بأجل   لحن   رن   في   قيثاره

بأجل لحن رن في قيثاره

A people sings on the festival day of its glory,

A people sing on their feast day with pride

with the noblest melody that rang from its lyre.

To a fine melody that rings in their lyre

لحن    يفيض   حماسة   فكأنما

لحن يفيض حماسة فكأنما

تتناثر    النيران    من    أوتاره

تتناثر النيران من أوتاره

A melody brimming with fervor, as though

A melody overflowing with fervor as though

flames were scattering from its strings.

The camel-driver sang it, and so it became his song,

The wanderer sang it and made it his chant

and the musician sang it through his flute.

The bard accompanied it on his flute

وتوحدت   في   البرلمان  وداره

وتوحدت في البرلمان وداره

And today the country's hopes have gathered,

And today the hopes of the nation unite

هتفت تطالب بالجلاء وعزمها

متدافع    كالسيل    في    تياره

متدافع كالسيل في تياره

They cried out, demanding withdrawal, and their resolve

They shout demanding evacuation and their resolve

surged like a torrent in its current,

Flows like a torrent in its route

لترد    للوطن   العزيز   كرامة

لترد للوطن العزيز كرامة

ديست وتمسح عنه وصمة عاره

ديست وتمسح عنه وصمة عاره

to restore to the beloved homeland the dignity

To restore the dear homeland its dignity

trampled underfoot, and wipe from it the stain of its shame.

That was lost and wipe away its disgrace no doubt

لاحت تباشير الخلاص وأشرقت

لاحت تباشير الخلاص وأشرقت

وضاءة    كالفجر    في   أنواره

وضاءة كالفجر في أنواره

The first signs of salvation have appeared and shone

radiant as dawn in its light.

With the light of dawn in its lights throughout

ورؤى  الغد المأمول تطرب أمة

ورؤى الغد المأمول تطرب أمة

عانت   من  المحتل  واستعماره

عانت من المحتل واستعماره

And visions of the hoped-for tomorrow gladden a nation

And visions of the hoped-for future delight a nation

So today every free soul in this land rejoices

despite differences and despite his homeland's remoteness.

Despite differences and distant abodes about

It is our hoped-for festival, the festival of our struggle,

It's our longed-for feast, the feast of our struggle

and the first of its hoped-for fruits.

And the start of the hoped-for fruit it brings out
