Jerusalem/al-Quds
We have returned to you,
O Jerusalem,
With an Islamic march.
Yesterday’s era will return,
And you will become free and Arab again.
Jerusalem is ours, O God,
The house is ours, O God.
We will not allow the foot of deceit to make you a place of doom and humiliation. We will not abandon you; you are ours, and we are ready to sacrifice for you. The time for reunion has come, and the word has united, and the ranks have gathered from all Islamic lands, calling for the liberation of Jerusalem... We will pray in Jerusalem... We will pray in Jerusalem... We will pray in Jerusalem.
Thanks to you, O Islam,
We are heading to your beloved lands.
By your calls for prayer, O Imam,
Today, the foundation has strengthened,
With determination and faith,
The Arabs’ word is heard,
And the good tides are clear.
Welcome the seeker and the scholar to the place, the boys are making us proud
Without words, happiness without blame, the book and its verses.
Justice and peace, a march of harmony for Jerusalem and its lands.
They wanted to divide our men and gain control of the place,
They stained the pure land and increased their standing.
The oppressor cannot hide,
The light of Islam illuminates the path.
O ruler, rule with truth and insight,
The scale of justice is clear since dawn,
it exposes the oppressor,
The light of Islam illuminates the path.
