Here is my heart
Escaped from the night of the prisons
Torn from the pain of time
At the bite to torture
Bitter days and their chains
A Gift of Peace
To war and hatred
Hell and its sufferings
Own it
With the breath of your heart
Protect its warmth
And in its depths
Build a large house
For the smile of your children
Own it
From its beats
And sing the hope and the joy
After forgetting the bruised time
Knead with its thew
A light cake
Round like the earth
For all those who are hungry
Here is my heart without grief
Cleaned from dust
Full of light
With its beats
Wipe out all wars
Abolish all hatreds
Clear all pains
And stretch both hands
To receive happiness
Here is my heart
Fully open to love
To all with solidarity
Full moon illuminating the earth
Pure and serene
Take great care of it
And with its sanguine fluid
Water the gardens
Of your tomorrows
Where birds will sing
For all your souls
The refrain of my Salam
