Zabur 137
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat
down.
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Al-Quds.
2On the willows in the midst of it,
We hung up our harps.
3For there, those who led us captive asked
us for songs.
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:
"Sing
us one of the songs of Al-Quds!"
4How can we sing Allah's song in a foreign land?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill.
6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my
mouth if I do not remember you;
If I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7Remember, Allah, against the children of
Edom,
The day of Jerusalem;
Who said, "Raze it!
Raze it even to its foundation!"
8Daughter of Babylon, doomed to
destruction,
He will be happy who rewards you,
As you have served us.
9Happy shall he be,
Who takes and dashes your little ones against the
rock.
