The Arab Conscience

Ahmad Al Alrian
A conscience of a sinner is in no need of a accusing finger. Therefore begin by letting your
conscience be the judge and know the tree of wrong does not bear fruit. And whoever is
excessive in his surrender, his idea about his true vision becomes narrow.

And whoever believes the lies of life, his conscience mocks him. The consequences of silence
are more dangerous than its causes. And because the conscience is the lighthouse that guides
mankind to the right path, we seek its assistance in achieving the Arab dream.

Therefore let your conscience speak for the silent conscience is a silent evil.

Wadii Es'safi
My dad taught me long ago telling me "listen son to the aphorism of our time, an aphorism I
inherited from my grandpa & taught to my son & daughter: Loving homeland is faith, loving
faith is a homeland. Since that day I loved Lebanon... Oh Lebanon my heart.

Mohamed el'ezabi
I'm like Wadi of Lebanon, carrying commandments in my conscience from my father, my
mother and grandmother. They said: "Oh Ezabi stay vigilant. Loving homeland is an
obligation/commitment. Make the Arabs' Palestine your title written down on your forehead.
The land of the Arabs is for the Arabs. All Arabs are brothers. Awake the consciences, make
them alert before it gets equivocal & man is lost. I'm like u, my love for the homeland is an
obligation/commitment; my love for the homeland is faith.

Latifa
I want the whole world to stretch out its palms for peace
Arab peace will be real peace, not surrender

Hani Shaker
I am an Arab and I refuse my silence that suppresses my feelings inside me
The Arab people stand alongside me, they'll speak and th will repeat after me

All people are human beings and all Messengers are brothers

They also reject our humiliation and they extol humanity
Allah is love and our religion is peace

There is nothing over the metal to walk on, I don’t know where to go, this is the conscience of
the world with deaf ears.

Redha Al Abdullah
We said in our first dream that the ray of light will reach the skies and seas...
Oh, but it's taking forever

Amal Maher
It's taking forever because the darkness of night left our conscience muted
But even if we had one day left, We must keep dreaming

Khalid Seleem
Did our feelings die or are we the dead ones?
Or is the world's conscience dead?

Ahlam
We are carrying the weapon of destruction with us in times of crisis
And people are suffering endlessly with us, since the beginning.

Diana Karazon
Rise up my brother with your blood and arouse determination
Shout out loud and say with your mouth what was not said in the Arab government summits

Abdullah Al Rowaished
We will resist whether they call it terrorism or transgression
None of our hearts will be pacified until we retrieve the Golan Heights

INSERT
They don’t know anything, they don’t care, Muslims or Christians...They tortured us O’
World! May Allah ruin them as they did us! May Allah ruin them as they did us! Allah is
Greater! Allah is Greater!...Victory to Iraq!, Victory to Iraq!

Wa'ad
I refuse your dominance under the cloak of freedom
I refuse your opinion and advice in the name of democracy

Freedom is not a gift that you bestow upon me
Our willpower wipes out this trial take, wake up Arab nation

Mostafa Mahfouz
A life of peace was not of the dreams that we saw in our sleep
Darkness is everywhere; Oh people stop talking and take action

Amal Hejazi
Your war on terror is the slogan of a liar and a tyrant
Your understanding of freedom is against human rights

INSERT
I stood hopeless...infront of my son...who was bleeding... and his soul leaving his body
without being able to do anything.

Old Men, women and Children are screaming and nobody is listening
Body parts, and the blood of martyrs…While the world's conscience is lost

Omniyah
Oh Ummah, rise up for the task and connect your voice to the universe
They killed the symbols of the ummah and our silence did not move

Ammar Hassan
It's our custom to protect the rights of our neighbours
So, people grew determined without the lead of Arab governments

Asala Nasri
We cry, and the tears of people are not tears of show
Of what use is crying when feelings and emotions are ignored

Cheb Jalani
We seek your pardon of Messenger of Allah for transgressing the sacredness of religion
Whatever days I have left of my life, I will ask for forgiveness

Nancy Za'abalawi
By the glory of the Torah's, the love of the Injeel (Bible), and the wisdom of the Qur'an's, our
religions will remain a guide

There weapons poured on us like rain. They poured from hands of failures. They poured from
scared hands. From loose hands.

Majid Al Muhandis
From Gaza to Baghdad to Beirut…sorrow is everywhere
Our determination will never die; it will get stronger with faith

Amnah Fakher
We are all brothers and sisters in this crisis confronting transgression with one hand
We are all aware of this tyranny; we are all owners of this land

Lotfi Boshnaq
Their game is to cause dissension between us, and therefore we have to be alert
We need to be aware of the destructive flames of dissension.

Dear my brother, we remain strangers
Oh Arab silence, speak up, enough of absence

Raise your forehead, and let your words turn into actions
Our Arab conscience, it's impossible for you to die

Noor Mehana
Oh Allah, the enemies have caused ravaged us
I call on you oh Allah, our hope in you will never dissipate, I know you will never let me
down

Fatin Helal Baik
He awoke the conscience of the Ummah and He brought back its feeling
Oh he who removes the worry affliction, awake the conscience of people

Mo'amin Ahmad
Awake people’s hearts ... awaken with it pride, shout with feeling that all Arabs are brothers.

Ahmad Al Alrian
The conscience of a sinner does not need an accusing finger and therefore let your conscience
judge you. And you should know that the tree of oppression has never produced, except
darkness. And if we are excessive in our surrendering then our vision becomes limited.

And whoever believes the lies of life, his conscience mocks him. The consequences of silence
are more dangerous than its causes.
The conscience of the living person is his guiding light to what is correct, we must seek its
assistance so that we can realize our Arab dream.

Come, let’s awaken the conscience to speak otherwise your silenced conscience will be like
an evil devil.

We all saw the picture is black and we are the cause but with our hands the picture will
remain white, but only that the blame is on Ahmad and Hussein and Hana and Mina. If they
can only feel once with some, our conscience will awaken. Arise with us to awaken the hearts
of people and to scream with all our feelings, we Arabs are brothers.

My greatest wish... MY greatest wish is to go back home.
