Lyrics
“O [Hamas’] Al-Qassam [Brigades], fire without asking
On (southern Israel’s) Eshkol to return (the Israeli city) Ashkelon
Let the thieving [Israeli] army lament and go down to the shelters
Let them go down to the shelters
O Al-Qassam, fire your rockets
Make them explode and write your history
O Al-Qassam, victory is from Allah
In Paradise there is a Garden [for Martyrs] calling to you
Fajar 5 [rocket], O blaze, hurry, destroy Tel Aviv
O Martyrdom-seeker (i.e., suicide bomber),
O blaze, hurry, blow up Tel Aviv
The free [Hamas’] Al-Qassam say: ‘Allah willing, we will hit and will not fail’
