Stand with Justice

As recited by Palestinian youths

Pervaded the darkness and pervaded our aggressor,
In the camp, faces of death without mercy.

Death in our land, my brother, is routine,
Like honey, though others taste it as colocynth.

Worse than death to mortgage my country,
To pawn Al Aqsa and Al Quds, to surrender.

Worse than death to bequeath my children,
Shame and disgrace that history would proclaim.

Yes, I resist with my body, I forge my glories,
Glory knows not the lover of dirhams.

Glory knows naught but a free calling,
For martyrdom, with faith enduring.

Whoever seeks victory asleep on pillows,
Tell him be sure to dream whilst sleeping.

Victory through sacrifice, though flow valleys,
If blood flows - no victory without blood.

Your money and soul for your country sacrifice,
Who does not sacrifice for his country must regret.

Oh my people free, oh my people, oh my country,
Stand with justice, never will justice be vanquished.
