ﺃﻳﺎ ﻭﻃﻨﻲ ﺭﺟﻌﺖ ﺇﻟﻴﻚ ﺍﺷﻜﻮ
ﻓﻬﻞ ﺷﻔﻴﺖ ﻋﻴﻮﻧﺎ ﺧﺬﻟﺖ ﺳﻨﻴﻨﺎ
ﻭﺣﺰﻥ ﻏﻤﺪﺕ ﺳﻴﻮﻓﻪ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺭﺿﻴﻨﺎ
ﻓﻠﻢ ﺗﻜﻠﻞ ﺩﻣﺸﻖ ﺯﻫﻮﺭﺍ ﻳﺎﺳﻤﻴﻨﺎ
ﻭﻫﻞ ﺗﺬﻭﻗﺖ ﺍﻟﺬﻝ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻓﻌﻠﻨﺎ
ﻭﺣﻴﻦ ﺫﺭﻓﺖ ﻋﻴﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻮﻃﻦ ﺣﻨﻴﻨﺎ
ﺇﺫﻥ ﻳﺎ ﻣﻮﺕ ﺃﻗﺒﻞ ﻭﺍﻧﺘﺸﻠﻨﻲ
ﻭﻧﺤﻦ ﻓﻲ ﻣﺮﻛﺐ ﺍﻷﻫﻮﺍﻝ ﺟﻴﻨﺎ
ﺇﺫﺍ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺰﻣﺎﻥ ﺭﻓﻴﻖ ﻇﻠﻢ
ﻓﻼ ﺗﻘﺒﻞ ﻫﻮﺍﻩ ﻭﻗﻞ ﻫﺪﻳﻨﺎ
ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻛﻔﻨﺘﻢ ﻗﻠﺒﻲ ﻓﻬﻞ ﻧﺪﻣﻨﺎ
ﻭﺍﺳﺪﻝ ﺟﻤﺮ ﻗﻬﺮ ﻓﻘﻞ ﻛﻔﻴﻨﺎ
ﻭﻛﻔﻜﻒ ﺩﻣﻊ ﺍﻷﻳﺎﻡ ﻗﺒﻼ
ﻭﻟﻤﻠﻢ ﺟﺮﺡ ﺍﻟﺴﻨﻮﺍﺕ ﻓﻴﻨﺎ
ﻭﻻ ﺟﺒﻦ ﺍﻻﻋﺎﺩﻱ ﺃﺭﺍﺡ ﻋﻴﻮﻧﺎ
ﻭﻻ ﻗﺎﻣﺖ ﺟﻴﻮﺵ ﺍﻟﻤﺠﺪ ﺣﻴﻨﺎ
ﻭﻛﻢ ﻟﻤﺘﻢ ﺷﻬﺎﻣﺔ ﺍﻟﺜﻮﺍﺭ
ﺳﻘﻴﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﻦ ﻓﺘﻨﺎ ﺩﻓﻴﻨﻪ
