Lyrics: “The Fatah member does not fear death, the Fatah member
O Fatah member, light a fire, O Fatah member
O Al-Aqsa [Martyrs’] Brigades, press [the enemy] strongly and we are with you
We are the Fatah generation that will not return
I return to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, this is the response
O young people of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, rise up like fire and a volcano”
O Fatah member
