Salil al-Sawarim (Arabic: صليل الصوارم, romanized: Ṣalīl aṣ-Ṣawārim, "Clashing of the swords") is a nasheed (chant) produced by the Islamic State in 2014 and used in Islamist propaganda videos and as a theme.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a melodic a cappella hymn, in which the lyrics discuss about bloodshed and war.[1]

The chant was produced by the Ajnad Foundation,[1] with the recitation of the vocalist Abu Yassir, the most well known vocalist of the group. Salil al-Sawarim is among the best known IS nasheeds. It appeared in IS' fourth installment of the Salil al-Sawarim video series, which among other things contain medleys of executions.[1][6] Due to the chant being related to terrorism, it is commonly removed from popular music and video platforms such as SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube and TikTok.

Arabic Transliteration Translation

صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتمُ صوتِ جميلِ صداه
صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتم مصوت جميل صداه
به عزّ ديني وذلّ البغاه
فيا قومي هبُّوا لدرب الكُماة
فإما حياة تسر الهدى
وإما ممات يُغيظ العداة
وإما ممات يُغيظ العداة

صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتمُ صوتِ جميلِ صداه
فقم يا اخى لدرب النجاه
لنمضى سوياً نصد الغزاه
ونرفع مجد ونعلى جباه
ابت ان تَذٍلَ لغيرَ الاله
ابت ان تَذٍلَ لغيرَ الاله

صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتمُ صوتِ جميلِ صداه
صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتم مصوت جميل صداه

الَى الحق هيا دعانا لواه
لساح المنايا لحرب عداه
فمن مات منا فدا عن حماه
بجنات خلدٌ سيغدوا عزاه
بجنات خلدٌ سيغدوا عزاه

صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتمُ صوت جميل صداه
صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتم مصوت جميل صداه

صليلُ الصوارم نشيدُ الأباة
ودربَ القتال طريق الحياة
فبين اقتحام يبيد الطغاة
وكاتم مصوت جميل صداه

Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler resonates
By the honor of my religion and the humiliation of the oppressor
O my people, go for the truffle path
Or a life that pleases guidance
Or a death that enrages the enmity
Or a death that enrages the enmity
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler
So, my brother, rise to the path of salvation
Let's go together to defeat the invaders
We raise glory and raise our foreheads
You refuse to be humiliated to other than God
You refuse to be humiliated to other than God
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler resonates
To the truth, let's invite us to Luah
The weapon of Al-Manaya for a war of hostility
Whoever among us dies, ransom for his mother-in-law
The heavens of a mole will become his consolation
The heavens of a mole will become his consolation
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler resonates
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler resonates
Clashing of the swords is the anthem of the defiant
Fighting is the way of life
Between intrusion annihilates tyrants
And a beautiful muffler resonates
