اسير
Prisoner

اسير في غيائبهم اسير .. اسير في سجونهم حقير

A prisoner in their secluded hideaways... a prisoner

A prisoner in their prisons... a prisoner

يدنس عزتي علج رماني .. على الرمضاء يلفحني الهجير

A Roman infidel desecrates my honour...

in the middle of the day I am scorched by the sweltering heat

يدوس كرامتي حين و حين .. يقهقه و هو خمار سكير

My nobility is stepped on here and there...

he laughs while he is a boisterous drunkard

و انات الاسارى شاهدات .. على ملياركم اين الطرير

And the groups of female prisoners are witnesses...

of your billions, so where are the young women?

و اين الفارس المغوار يأتي.. يفك القيد اعياني الزفير

And where is the courageous knight who will come...

and break the chains so that we may finally exhale?

ولو ان القطيع لنا جوار .. لما طابت لسكنانا الحمير

And if the fighters were close to us...

then our residents would not have found the donkeys to be pleasant.

أيهنأء عيشكم يا قوم اني .. اجرع كأس حنظلهم مرير

And how can you live in a state of satisfaction, my people,

for I ... swallow their cup of fruit with bitterness

ولكني اخبركم بانا كمثل الاسد .. اذا خفي الزئير

But I inform you that we are like the lion...

when he conceals his growls

لنا العزمات رغم القيد انا .. بقيد الشرع احرار نسير

We have enthusiasm despite the chains,

for we are liberated in the chains of the Shari'ah

ايا جبناء قد حان انتقامي .. ايا اسارا قد صاح النذير

O you cowards, the time has come for me to get rid of you...

O prisoners, the warner has awoken

و ميثاق مع الله اشترينا .. تكاد نفوسنا شوقا تطير

And we have purchased a covenant with Allah...

so that our souls fly around as they desire

و في ذات الاله تهون نفسي .. و نفس القاعدين لها شخير

And for the sake of the Deity (Allah) I give my soul freely

and the souls of those who sit back do nothing but snore...

By Abu 'Abdul Maalik & Abu 'Ali - Al-Aseef
