Tunisia does not need
what is being done to it. 
Oh people, isn't it high time 
to stop this and wake up? 
See then, why sit and talk 
when we should work and walk?

Martyrs did not want 
to die and part for nothing.
They did not come to life 
and go without blessing.
Why, then, are those 
who killed them still walking?

Till when, Oh God, 
they will live and keep hiding?
Do they live to make others die? 
Are they humans?
