The Mother of all Battles

The Mother of all Battles

A Tribute to the Free Syrian Army (FSA)

By Tarif Youssef Agha

Syria is being liberated by an Army (FSA) that united with sacrifice

An Army that has no one who worships Assad

An army that was sent by God to restore dignity

As God promised victory to those who have patience

An army that thundered across the country

With soldiers who fear no one but God

The regime army is scared of even mentioning its name (FSA)

Even though the regime’s has more fighters and arms

The Free (Syrian Army) swore to break the chain

And to remove the ruler who wanted to rule forever

No goodness comes from such a ruler

And no lions are born to monkeys

Dammed is he who targeted the children blood

And intended to burn the country

He, who turned the honorable people to refugees,

And neglected liberating the occupied land

He, who denied all the laws,

And made evil his only witness

He, who cut the bodies, called it the Mother of all Battles

The one who plants death, harvests nothing but death

Our Free (Syrian) Army that prepared for it

And moved it to Aleppo from Damascus

Will, for sure, get revenge against those who hate us

And will get revenge for those who became martyrs
