Oh my country, you have become Job
I don't like running away

Oh patience, tell me, am I Job
To test my country, so that Satan may fill it with sadness?
Or in my sadness have I become Jacob
And the heart inside me with its sadness has become sad?
I spent my life defending a country
Its regime was defeated
I took off my veil and held a weapon in my hand
To defend my beloved country
I gave up my femininity when the enemy was defeated
I triumphed over my child and shed his tears
So when, oh my country, will you call me to rise
After years of expelling me from you, an angry monster?
And I did not find in my exile anyone to represent me
Except a friend who cares about my sadness and searches?
The path of searching for a Lord who forgives sins
Oh Lord, support me, for I am defeated in my matter
And for my country to be liberated and for my robbed people to rejoice
With the love of a country visited by weeping and whose face turned pale
I never imagined that the one who stole my land
A wolf who does not die or repent for his sin?
I didn't know that the sunrise is long
And the moon of my freedom never sets, so is there a sunset?
The days have been long since I was allowed to be Jacob
So when did I become like Jacob and my country become like Job?
My revolution is a fire that if it ignites, it ignites in its homeland
For you, my country, I will remain steadfast in all wars
And I will not let the wind extinguish the light of the candles so they go out
For inside me, I made everything around me take that into consideration
Oh my country, do not wrong me, for I do not like to flee
Even if the conditions of my country worsen, I will continue to strive to protect you?
