"Zeh lo mar'shim,"
chashvu ishim bamemshalah,
"yesh chalakim ra'im al hamapah
vesham lematah chaserah od nekudah"
hachashuvim horidu p'kudah:
"Nivneh kan ir
vegam navi k'tzat anashim
sheyemal'u bechayeyhem
et habatim hachadashim.
Zeh tov, harbeh nikud al hamapah,
uva'iton harei hivtichu chasifah."
Kach tzivu sarim b'chirim bekol radum,
veratzu letapel bematzvei cheirum.
As'ku zotar asah et hamerchak
kdei livarech yashuv chadash sh'mo
"ma'aleh avak."
Bema'aleh avak ba'erev
ne'esfrim betzad haderech,
zochrim chalom
shel nishkachim,
achaveh shel nidachim.
Matchu kan k'vish shachor vetzar
chutzah amok et hamidbar.
Bik'tzeh hak'vish banu batim
k'mo zarku kufsa'ot shel gafrorim.
Batei kafeh im shikorim,
ve'anashim babait mitbatz'rim,
vechan kulam cholmim al yom
bo ya'avru et hak'vish mishum makom.
Bema'aleh avak ba'erev...
