فِدَائِي فِدَائِي فِدَائِي

يَا أَرْضِي يَا أَرْض الجُدُود
فِدَائِي فِدَائِي فِدَائِي
يَا شَعْبِي يَا شَعْب الخُلُود

بِعَزْمِي وَنَارِي وَبُرْكَانِ ثَأرِي
وَأَشْوَاقِ دَمِي لِأَرْضِي وَدَارِي
صَعَدْتُ الجِبَالَا وَخُضْتُ النِّضَالَا
قَهَرْتُ المُحَالَا عَبَرْتُ الحُدُود

بِعَزْمِ الرِّيَاح وَنَارِ السِّلَاح
وَإِصْرَارِ شَعْبِي بِأَرْض الكِفَاح
(فِلَسْطِينُ دَارِي فِلَسْطِينُ نَارِي)
فِلَسْطِينُ دَارِي ودرب انتصاري
فِلَسْطِينُ ثَارِي وَأَرْضِ الصُّمُود

بِحَقِّ القَسَم تَحْتَ ظِلِّ العَلَم
بِأَرْضِي وَشَعْبِي وَنَارِ الأَلَم
سَأَحْيَا فِدَائِي وَأَمْضِي فِدَائِي
وَأَقْضِي فِدَائِي إِلَى أَن تَعُود

فِدَائِي

English translation

Warrior, warrior, warrior
O my land, ancestors' abode
Warrior, warrior, warrior
O my folk, folk o' eternity
With bravery arm'd, the burning in my vendetta
Thirst in my blood fo' my land, my home
Wars I've fought, mountains I've climb'd
I've conquer'd the impossible, o' frontiers cross'd
With the will o' winds, fire o' weapons
And grit o' my nation o' struggles
(Palestine, my home, thou art my fire)
Palestine, my home, path o' my triumph
Palestine, land o' brace and o' my strife.
By thy oath under the shade o' thy flag
By my land and nation, the pain that burns
As a warrior I shall live and remain as such
As a warrior I shall die, until my country returns
O Warrior!
