O Men of War
The Israeli tanks came rolling in
And death was heard above the din
The terrorcraft roared and flew overhead
As shells exploded while they lay in bed
Terrified was the shout and wild the cry
As mother cradled child and watched him die
The broken bones coloured the land
So many markers of the tragedy at hand
And while the oppressor laughed, and the innocent died
The tyrants shook hands, hugged the killer and smiled
Neither caring nor concerned for those beloved were they
Of Jenin, Gujrat, and the massacres underway
The time has come to hear a different cry
From hardened troops with iman so high
O Men of War, O Men of Faith
Does your blood not boil, does your heart not quake
When watching your Ummah die, and hearing your sister cry
Do you remain content, to be observers after the event
O Sons of Khalid, O Ahle Hamza
Remember the Ansaar who came from Medina
Who guarded their deen and gave their life
And showed the way in this time of strife
Forget not Khayber, forget not Khandaq
We defeated them at Damatul Jandal
Throw off the shackles, remain caged no more
Prepare yourselves for a victorious war
The Kafir will shake as you rise like lions
Your power will sweep away these treacherous tyrants
Their numbers and power will not save them
When al-Ansaar march out to stand against them
The Ummah awaits your glorious arrival
In Quds, al-Hind, wherever they’re in trial
By Allah you hold the key that will make
The system we want to once again awake
So let not the sun set tonight
Before you make the decision for right
We are with you every step of the way
The sweet scent of Khilafah now a short distance away
Hassan Mujtaba
