'Arabaat
'Arabaat
عَرَبَاتٌ تَدَفَّقت ****تُشبهُ الهائجَ الخِضَم
Vehicles were overflowing (the roads),
Resembling the violence of the oceans,
وعليها تَكَوَّمَتْ ****زُمَرٌ طَيشُهَا احتَدَم
And on top of them are piled,
groups of restless, excited people.
وعلى كلُ ساعدٍ*** رَايَة زَاحَمَت عَلَم
On every forearm,
On every forearm,
there are flags which unite the people.
حُشرَ الناسَ تَحتَها*** اُمَمٌ اُثْرِها اُمَم
The people are drawn under them,
One group following the next...
مَاجَتِ الارضُ بالوُرُو***دِ وَطيشُ الرَخَاء عَم
The land swells with the arrival,
And everyone increases in their excitement..
فتساءلتُ وَالاَسَى ****يُنذَرَ القلبُ وَالالم
So (trying to find out the reason for the excitement) I ask around,
With a sincere heart and sincere feelings,
هَل فلسطينُ حُررت ****وقِطَاف العَناءِ تَم
Has Palestine been freed,
and the harvesting of pain stopped..?
ام بشيشان دُمِّرَت**** قُوَّةَ الُملحِدَ الاذم
Or has Sheeshan overcome,
the power of the evil heretics?
قيل لا بل فريقنا ****فاز في لعبة القدم
It was said, No,
Rather our team has won the football match
اي سخف مدمر**** عن فساد الشعوب نم
Which demolishing stupidity,
from the decay of the (morals of the) people,
والى اي خيبة**** هبطت هذه الامم
And to which failure,
will these groups be destroyed?
انا اقسمت بالذي**** برء الكون من عدم
I swear by the One,
Who is free from the emptiness of the land,
وكسى ثوب عزة ****كل من بالهدى اعتصم
(I swear by the one) who clothed with a garment of ‘izza (dignity/honour),
all those who clung to guidance,
ان قنعنا بسخفنا**** وركنا الى النعم
That if we are heedless of our stupidity,
And we rely upon luxuries,
فخطا الخصم ماضي****ات من القدس للحرم
Then the advance of the adversaries,
will reach from the Quds to the Haram.
عندها يندم الجمي****ع ولا ينفع الندم
With it people will regret,
On a day where regret will have no avail.
