وَلِي قِبْلَةٌ بَابَ العَمُودِ وقُبْلَةٌ ،

وَلِي قِبْلَةٌ بَابَ العَمُودِ وقُبْلَةٌ ،

مِنَ السُّورِ أُهْدِيها إِلَى الأَهْلِ في القُدْسِ

مِنَ السُّورِ أُهْدِيها إِلَى الأَهْلِ في القُدْسِ

And I have a direction of prayer—Bab al-Amud—and a kiss,

I have a kiss at Al-Aqsa's gate and a kiss

which I offer from the wall to my kin in Jerusalem.

I send from the fence to my family in Jerusalem

حَرامٌ عَلَى أَدْراجِهِ كُلُّ خَطْوَةٍ

حَرامٌ عَلَى أَدْراجِهِ كُلُّ خَطْوَةٍ

مُلَوَّثَةٍ بِالْغَزْوِ مَكْروهَةِ الدَّعْسِ !

مُلَوَّثَةٍ بِالْغَزْوِ مَكْروهَةِ الدَّعْسِ !

Forbidden on its stairs is every footstep

Every step on its stairs is forbidden

tainted by invasion, abhorrent in its trampling!

Defiled by the invasion, hated for its harm!

سَأَدْعُو عَلَى كُلِّ الغُزاةِ وَخَطْوِهِمْ

سَأَدْعُو عَلَى كُلِّ الغُزاةِ وَخَطْوِهِمْ

إِلى أنْ يَرُدَّ اللهُ يَوْمًا خُطَى الرِّجْسِ !

إِلى أنْ يَرُدَّ اللهُ يَوْمًا خُطَى الرِّجْسِ !

I shall pray against all the invaders and their tread,

I will invoke curses on all the invaders and their steps

until God one day turns back the footsteps of defilement!

Until God one day repeals the steps of defilement!

سَلَامِي عَلَى قُدْسِ السَّلامِ وأَهْلِها

سَلَامِي عَلَى قُدْسِ السَّلامِ وأَهْلِها

ومِنِّي لَها ما قَدْ تَبَقَّى مِنَ النَّفْسِ !

ومِنِّي لَها ما قَدْ تَبَقَّى مِنَ النَّفْسِ !

My greetings to Jerusalem of peace and her people,

My greetings to Jerusalem, the abode of peace, and its people

and from me, for her, what remains of my soul!

And from me remains what is left of my soul to it!

ولا بُدَّ مِنْ يَوْمٍ سَعِيدٍ لِقاؤُهُ ،

ولا بُدَّ مِنْ يَوْمٍ سَعِيدٍ لِقاؤُهُ ،

يُنَسِّي دُرُوبَ الدَّمْعِ ما كَانَ مِن بُؤْسِ !!!

يُنَسِّي دُرُوبَ الدَّمْعِ ما كَانَ مِن بُؤْسِ !!!

And there must be a day that is a joy to meet,

And there must come a happy day when we meet,

that makes the paths of tears forget whatever misery there was!

That makes the tear-stained roads forget what sorrow had been!!!
