Stanza 103

"There houris wait to be the pleasure toys
Of any man whose martyrdom destroys
The infidel who threaten Muslim lands.
However, anyone who understands
The object of the warfare we pursue
Must recognize that we will not subdue
The foe if our own deaths remain the goal.
If we would triumph over those who stole
Your resources, then we should carefully
Create confusion for the enemy.
Last summer, when we fought the Zionists
This method worked against the terrorists
Who targeted civilians with their bombs.
The children, elderly, and nursing moms
Were killed and wounded throughout Lebanon.
But though the war was hard on everyone,
America's unholy client state
Found it impossible to terminate
The rocket launches or to target us,
Nor could they rescue any hostages.
