A corrupt world we are in,
Where most of the people sin,
And the righteous just sit back and lean.

Don't you fear your Lord?
Then stand up! And take your sword,
Instead of running off to the ward.

Basics they were taught,
Highest level of iman they bought,
And with a greater zeal they fought.

Talking about it now is a crime,
Though the teachings still rhyme,
Forgetting we are to dwell here for a short time.

Stand up for the right: You are strange,
Going to the light: Watch your range,
But praying to the Might: Will bring change.

Hopeless you feel: With sunken deep eyes,
Your tears you seal: The Ummah is filled with lies,
Jihad is real: Wake up O Believers and rise.

People warned against you: You are an extremist,
Some others boo you: You are on their list,
A terrorist they term you: Covering you with dust.

Don't worry O Loved One: Allah is on your side,
You have already won: Truth about you they confide,
Don't worry O Cherished One: Your buraq you will soon ride.
