about

A song written and performed by Hasna Al Hassoun

lyrics

( الشام يامهجة قلبي )
الشام يا مهجة قلبي دمتي للهوا ذخرا
قومي حبيبتي واقتلي اليأس والقهرا
لا تركعي واقتلعي الأشواك بيديك 
لا تتراجعي وازرعي ورود الأمل في كل 
شوراعك وبيوتك 
نحن لن ننساك لا تنسينا يامقلة عيني
مهما طالت غربتنا وكبرت مآسينا انتي في قلوبنا تسكنينا 
اه يا وطني المقتول والمسلوب والمسروق اه يا وطني

English translation:

Oh Sham, my heartbeat, you will always be the highest.
Get up my love, and kill the despair and oppression.
Don't bend and extract the thorns by your hand.

Don't go back but plant flowers of hope in all your streets and houses.
We won’t forget you, don't forget us oh the apple of my eyes!
No matter how deep is our foreignness, and no matter how big are our tragedies, you will be in our hearts.

Oh my stolen and killed home. Oh my home.
Song written and sung by Hasna Al Hassoun
