Lyrics:
“My brother, my cousin, my friend, Shabiba
Train me in the streets of pride and sort me into Shabiba
Fatah is a revolution and a rifle
Birzeit of self-sacrifice
Knights in the lion’s den
And here the self-sacrificing fighters have set out
Fatah is a revolution and a rifle
Birzeit of self-sacrifice
Knights in the lion’s den
And here the self-sacrificing fighters have set out
Shabiba is the path of the revolutionaries
Shabiba is free men”
