فِدَائِي فِدَائِي فِدَائِي

بِعَزْمِي وَنَارِي وَبُرْكَانِ ثَأرِي
وَأَشْوَاقِ دَمِي لِأَرْضِي وَدَارِي
𝄇 صَعَدْتُ الجِبَالَا وَخُضْتُ النِّضَالَا
قَهَرْتُ المُحَالَا عَبَرْتُ الحُدُود 𝄆

بِعَزْمِ الرِّيَاح وَنَارِ السِّلَاح
وَإِصْرَارِ شَعْبِي بِأَرْض الكِفَاح
𝄇 فِلَسْطِينُ دَارِي ودرب انتصاري
فِلَسْطِينُ ثَارِي وَأَرْضِ الصُّمُود 𝄆

بِحَقِّ القَسَم تَحْتَ ظِلِّ العَلَم
بِأَرْضِي وَشَعْبِي وَنَارِ الأَلَم
𝄇 سَأَحْيَا فِدَائِي وَأَمْضِي فِدَائِي
وَأَقْضِي فِدَائِي إِلَى أَن تَعُود 𝄆
