Paroles et traduction كاظم الساهر - Al Amal

Al Amal

مربع المجد مورق وأنيق
والليالي من عشـقه لا تفيـق
حاليات بذكره
حاويات حسن مغناه وهو عرق عريق
رق فينا وراق ثم تمنى
والأمـاني غصنهن وريـق
قد خبرنا الزمان في حالتيه
وبلوناه وهو غـض رشـيق
ليس في عرفنا بأن لا نبالي
لا ولا خلقنا بخطب يضيـق
قال من قال أين منا المرجى
وله قلت ها أنـا يا صديـق
لو لأعلى رفعت عينك يوما
كنت أبصرتني مكاني عتيـق
لم أبدله لم أزل في مداري
سـائرا والسما لـدي الطريق
إن أصاب البلدان قحط وجدب
وابتلى أهلها الزمان الصفيـق
فهو دأب الحياة خير وشر
وهو شأن الوجود يسر وضيق
وإذا ما سحائب الصيف مرت
فدجاهـا لعزمنـا لا يعيـق
وأنا كل همي شعبي
وبحسن الثناء شعبي حقيـق
مربع المجد مورق وأنيق
والليالي من عشـقه لا تفيـق
حاليات بذكره
حاويات حسن مغناه وهو عرق عريق
حاويات حسن مغناه وهو عرق عريق

Al Amal

The square of glory is verdant and elegant
And the nights don't wake from its love
Beaming with its memory
Brimming with the beauty of its songs, a noble lineage
It danced within us and flourished, then wished
And hopes are their branches and leaves
We have known time in both its states
And tested it while it was fresh and graceful
It is not in our nature to be indifferent
Nor were we created for narrow speeches
They said, "Where is our hope from?"
And I said, "Here I am, my friend"
If you ever raised your eyes to the heights
You would have seen me, my place is ancient
I have not changed it, I still abide in my orbit
Walking, and the heavens are my path
If drought and famine strike the lands
And the brazen time tests its people
Such is the habit of life, good and evil
Such is the nature of existence, ease and hardship
And when the summer clouds pass
Their determination will not hold back our resolve
And all my concern is my people
And my people deserve the best praise
The square of glory is verdant and elegant
And the nights don't wake from its love
Beaming with its memory
Brimming with the beauty of its songs, a noble lineage
Brimming with the beauty of its songs, a noble lineage
