of the Homeland
Guardians
of the Homeland,
Peace on you;
Our proud spirits will
Not be subdued.
The abode of Arabism,
A hallowed sanctuary;
The seat of the stars,
An inviolable preserve.
Syria's
plains are
Towers in the heights,
Resembling the sky
Above the clouds.
A land resplendant
With brilliant suns,
Becoming another sky,
Or almost a sky.
English
translation
Protectors of the homeland,
peace be upon you
[Our] proud people will
not be subjugated
[Our] den of arabism is
a sacred sanctuary
[Our] throne of the suns
is a preserve that will
not be violated
The fields of Syria and
the towers of height
Are in dialogue with the
zenith of the skies
A land that rivaled the
bright suns, and a sky for
you if not the real sky.
The
flutter of the dreams and
the beat of the heart
Are on a flag that united
the country
Its black is from the black
of every eye
And the ink is from every
martyr's blood
Our spirits are proud and
past is great
Where the martyr's spirits
are formidable guardians
The ‘’Waleed’’ is from amongst
us and so is the ‘’Resheed’’,
hence no reason why we will
not prevail and prosper.
