The Sword of Vengeance

The Sword of Vengeance


 

Samih Al-Qassem



My loved ones, at the gates of a miracle
Death surrenders, before the glowing pinnacle
Of martyrdom, whose last fragrant breath
Tames, subdues and overcomes the appalling death!
When life is laid down, though still a small bud,
To baptize the beloved homeland with blood,
Then our martyrs become eternal and glorious:
Their souls shine in the march, victorious,
Leading our steps to the realms of light,
Proving that we can regain our right;
And open for our people the gates of Paradise
As long as those pioneers happily pay the price:
Our martyrs are our spirit of vigilance,
Smiting our enemy with the sword of vengeance!
