The blood is blood and blood never goes waste.

The blood does blossom although it may take time

The blood that flowed on the streets because of brutality, pure and simple,

The blood that flowed on the roads and alleyways of Cairo

The blood that was shed in the prisons

The blood that kept trickling on the pillars of gallows.

The blood of the thousands of the Ikhwanis

The blood that had been tasted by Nasser,

The blood that had been favourite of Nasser, Anwar and Mubarak

The blood that continues flowing and flowing and flowing

The blood, at last, turned into a river with no banks

The Divine Plan, however, is beyond the calculations of the Gamals, the Anwars and the Mubaraks

The destiny of the Pharoahs is drowning

The blood that has been flowing, will, at the end of the day, be glorified, honoured!

The Bravos, long live!
