O Dear Arab
1.
With what splendour
Has God dressed you
O dear Arab
And favoured you
2.
He cloaked His Word
And sent it down
Your pure language
Became its crown
3.
Even Angels
They speak your tongue
Heaven’s sweet hymn
Arab when sung
4.
Your grandfather
Ibrahim (a) is
Your forefather
Ismail (a) is
5.
Honour, protect
The guest to feed
Hatim Ta’ee
Maintained this deed
6.
The best of clans
Quraysh has been
The best of which
Hashim has been
7.
The pride of all
Ahmad TaHa (s)
The bride of light
Of near and far
8.
His core being
Bows to his Rabb
Such is the truth
To be Arab
9.
Our love for you
Is bound to him
Do as you please
We love for him
10.
To love the twain
Pearls of Zahra (ah)
Is part of faith
In Mustafa (s)
11.
Heaven’s river
Flows through the vein
Of sweet Hassan (a)
And pure Hussain (a)
12.
The aal al Bayt
In every age
Must be revered
More than the sage
13.
Do you recall
The old story
When you rode the
Steed of glory?
14.
There was a time
In awe they’d quake
Upon hearing
Arab they’d shake
15.
Like the sand-storm
You swept across
Every new land
You came across
16.
The world marvelled
At your progress
Knowledge, science
Every success
17.
Despite all this
Honour and fame
Today you’ve done
A thing of shame
18.
Mighty ‘Umar
Controlled the bell
Reclaimed al-Quds
Which now you sell
19.
‘Al Quds lana’
You broke your word
Yemen suffers
And Shaam has stirred
20.
What must happen
Is ruled by fate
But why rush to
Become its bait?
21.
Befriend the West
Make peace with all
But why betray
The weak who call?
22.
Loyal once were
Traitor don’t be
Losing all shame
Their stooge to be
23.
Desert folk are
Often foolish
But your actions
Do so punish
24.
We are nothing
In your largesse
Common folk that
You do oppress
25.
You are the leaf
We are the soil
You rise above
For you we toil
25.
It is ‘Ajam
Who sweep your floor
And climb to build
Your halls and more
26.
The two Masjids
Served by the brown
Who work in love
Despite your frown
27.
You have a pride
But don’t be proud
Humble yourself
To God be bowed
28.
Deserts detached
You from the world
But you dug them
Seeking the world
29.
The wealth you found
Blackened your fate
For all you did
Was fill your plate
30.
Alas upon
The late shadow
That leans and falls
Stretching so low
31.
Like slaves you bow
Before Zion
You roar no more
Dying lion
32.
Even Syeds
Betray Quds now
Only Mehdi
Can fix them now
33.
He has no care
Of rank or right
He has no fear
Of who to smite
34.
No one survives
Unless they bow
Teachers, leaders
Perish or bow
35.
So, rise O green
Land of the Paak
Clean off the dirt,
Exit the dark
36.
The time has come
Harken the cries
This Ummah needs
Your flag to rise
37.
Prepare the way
Make clear the side
For when he comes
We must not hide
38.
Let’s be the hilt
Within his palm
Ready to strike
Any who’d harm
39.
We who have made
A sword, weighty
Thank God alone
The One Mighty
40.
We learnt from you
Small though we be
And made a stride
Giants can see
41.
Tiny atoms
We made submit
And forged a storm
When they are split
42.
We have harnessed
Nature’s power
But hope against
Its dread hour
43.
Forgive my words
If they offend
I wish only
That we amend
44.
Who knows what will
Happen to pass
Ignore the slight,
It too will pass
45.
We pray that you
Reclaim your place
May God bless you
With endless grace
46.
It’s been so long
Since you led us
O dear Arab
Once more lead us!
