أنا ما حييتُ فَقَدْ وَقَفْتُ لأُمتي

أنا ما حييتُ فَقَدْ وَقَفْتُ لأُمتي

نفسي وَمالي في سبيلِ بلادي

نفسي وَمالي في سبيلِ بلادي

For as long as I live, I have pledged to my nation

As long as I live, I stand for my nation

Myself and my wealth in the cause of my homeland.

My soul and wealth are for the sake of my country

فإذا قتلتُ وَتلك أقصى غاية

فإذا قتلتُ وَتلك أقصى غاية

لي فالوصيةُ عندها أولادي

لي فالوصيةُ عندها أولادي

And if I am slain—and that is the highest goal

And if I am killed, which is my utmost aspiration

For me—then my children are my bequest:

My will is for my children to carry on

بنتٌ لتضميدِ الجراحِ وَيافعٌ

بنتٌ لتضميدِ الجراحِ وَيافعٌ

يُعنى بتثقيفِ القنا الميادِ

يُعنى بتثقيفِ القنا الميادِ

A daughter to dress wounds, and a youth

A daughter to tend to the wounds and a youth

Who attends to straightening the swaying spears,

To educate the minds of the young brigade

حتى إذا بَلَغَ الأشُدَّ رأتْ به

حتى إذا بَلَغَ الأشُدَّ رأتْ به

ذخراً ليومِ كريهةٍ وَجِلاد

ذخراً ليومِ كريهةٍ وَجِلاد

Until, when he reaches full strength, she sees in him

Until when grown, in them may be seen

A treasure for a day of war and combat.

A treasure for the day of woe and blockade
