They’re the children who have brought up amid pain and anguish
They’re the one who live with sorrows and grieves

Unkind waves of time have taken away their innocence
Cruelty has badly smashed their charming smile

Sons were killed in front of mothers
Kids were separated from fathers

Shelter has been taken away from naive
No one is there to help them

Tears rolls down the cheeks
With no one to wipe them
It’s a childhood where there is no one to cuddle
Kind mother’s lap is missing
To hide from hardships of life

Ears who were accustomed to hear lullabies
Are now sound bomb blasts only

They can’t sense the smell of flowers
As they has only smelt explosives
They are unfamiliar with love
As they have only receive hatred

Hearts don’t melt on their tears
Why doesn’t someone stop the cruel?
Conscience of Muslim Ummah doesn’t get wake up

Will they ever get the justice?
Will anyone listen to their sigh of grief and sorrow?
Will there be any law made to secure their rights?
Will anyone ever made an effort to implement such law?
Only the God will support them in such difficult times
He will lighten the ray of hope in the dark clouds

People see and overlook them
They intentionally ignore them

They are now not afraid of anything
There is no fear of gun fire
They are no more petrified of bomb blasts
Their feet don’t shake anymore
As they strong faith on their own
Whatever ruthlessness has been done to them
The cruelty wicked enemy has shown to them
We‘ll be over very soon

They are the one who stand in front of army tanks with just stones in hands
Remember Abrahah’s big expedition that was defeated with a shower of stones by a group of birds

It is a stern cruelty actually
Those illuminate a new ray of hope

It is an extreme level of oppression of oppressed
It is actually a dawn of their supremacy

It is a promise to you Masjid Al Aqsa
One day we’ll free you from the Jewish’s possession
