Child With a Drawing
A child sits amid the wreckage of the drawing room
يجلس طفلٌ بين حطام المرسم
The child weeps, he lost his smile.
يبكي الطفل ولا يتبسّم
He draws an empty school
يرسم مدرسةً خاليةً
He draws high walls
يرسم أسوارا عاليةً
Sits amid the wreckage of the land
يجلس بين حطام الأرض
And does not speak
ولا يتكلم
The bombing came without mercy
وأتى القصف ولا يرحم
Leaving no place for the child
لم يترك للطفل مكانا
Except under the wreckage of the drawing room
إلا تحت حطام المرسم
The child will live
سيعيش الطفل إذا عاشت
Through his drawings in the shadow of the wall
رسمته في ظل جدار
He will draw a joyful home
وسيرسم بيتا مبتهجا
And a land with rivers
وبلادا فيها أنهار
He will draw a low fence
وسيرسم سورا منخفضا
And he will leap over all walls
وسيقفز كل الأسوار
He will draw Arabs
وسيرسم شعبا عربيا
Appreciating the grace of fate
سيقدر لُطف الأقدار
Oh, child of the drawing room, teach me
يا طفل المرسم علمني
The beauty of children's knowledge
ما أجمل علم الأطفال
Draw me brave next to you
وارسمني شجاعا بجوارك
How beautiful is the drawing of heroes
ما اجمل رسم الأبطال
Stop bombing homes
فليتوقف قصف الدار
يجلس طفلٌ بين حطام المرسم
The child weeps, he lost his smile.
يبكي الطفل ولا يتبسّم
He draws an empty school
يرسم مدرسةً خاليةً
He draws high walls
يرسم أسوارا عاليةً
Sits amid the wreckage of the land
يجلس بين حطام الأرض
And does not speak
ولا يتكلم
The bombing came without mercy
وأتى القصف ولا يرحم
Leaving no place for the child
لم يترك للطفل مكانا
Except under the wreckage of the drawing room
إلا تحت حطام المرسم
The child will live
سيعيش الطفل إذا عاشت
Through his drawings in the shadow of the wall
رسمته في ظل جدار
He will draw a joyful home
وسيرسم بيتا مبتهجا
And a land with rivers
وبلادا فيها أنهار
He will draw a low fence
وسيرسم سورا منخفضا
And he will leap over all walls
وسيقفز كل الأسوار
He will draw Arabs
وسيرسم شعبا عربيا
Appreciating the grace of fate
سيقدر لُطف الأقدار
Oh, child of the drawing room, teach me
يا طفل المرسم علمني
The beauty of children's knowledge

Draw me brave next to you
وارسمني شجاعا بجوارك
How beautiful is the drawing of heroes
ما اجمل رسم الأبطال
Stop bombing homes
فليتوقف قصف الدار
