Lyrics/Text:

Projectiles are pouring on them like rain, but our sons are not dazed!
Enemies are invading our Fatherland, but our sons are not battered!

Despite those who desire our demise, our sons remain steadfast!
You are the sons of too many grieving fathers and mothers!
Despite those who desire our demise, our sons remain steadfast!
You are the sons of too many grieving fathers and mothers!

Weapons are being shot at their feet, but they stand firmly for prayer!
They are not startled, instead they continue fasting!

They are strengthening their relationship with God while on a Holy War!
Let us follow the righteous Prophet's example!
They are strengthening their relationship with God while on a Holy War!
Let us follow the righteous Prophet's example!

Oh, dear God!

The slaves of the Devil claim that this is not a Holy War
They claim we won't be victorious - we will prove them wrong!

Our martyrs refused to let our Fatherland down!
They are in Paradise, our honorable sons!
Our martyrs refused to let our Fatherland down!
They are in Paradise, our honorable sons!

We are content with the fate you give us, God!
We only want to break free from being suffocated by barbwires (freedom)!

Show compassion to your Messenger's community
Oh, Almighty God!
Show compassion to your Messenger's community
Oh, Almighty God!

We don't ask for the world, oh Almighty God!
We don't ask for richdom, oh Benevolent God!

We will not pity our souls, oh Almighty God!
Strengthen our faith and give us strength, dear God!
We will not pity our souls, oh Almighty God!
Strengthen our faith and give us strength, dear God!

Oh, Almighty God!
Strengthen our faith and give us strength, oh Almighty God!
