(While a military vehicle was transporting a number of Lebanese soldiers to the military headquarters in Yarzeh, they were stopped by armed men. The gunmen ordered the Christian soldiers to get out and the Muslim soldiers to continue on their way. However, soldier Khaled Kahoul from Barja stood in their path and shouted: "We are soldiers of Lebanon, and there is no distinction between Muslim and Christian among us. If you want to kill them, kill us all." The gunmen were embarrassed and let the soldiers go.)
Beirut - Annahar
-1-
No matter how far, Lebanon,
The horses of war roam
You will remain eternally protected
And the cedars on your borders
Will remain telling the legend of Lebanon
About the life of your Christians
And your Muslims...
Throughout the ages.
And he who sang of you
will return singing...
And in the nights of love
Nothing but prayer will speak to you
-2-
We cried...
And the tears dried by the seas
We said: They succeeded in our division
And they stifled our love
And by chance...
In the night of hardship...
A light shines upon us in our exile.

An unknown Lebanese soldier!
Confirmed... Glory to Fakhr al-Din
Impersonated by Khaled Kahoul
This towering eagle, always soaring
Who, in times of crisis, says:
"Kill me... I'm not afraid
With my Christian brothers
We have no sects
We are soldiers for all of Lebanon
Who will remain high and protected
No matter how strong the storms"
-4-
In my name...
In the name of the oppressed
I tell you, Khalid Kahoul
May your name be glorified forever
In times of hardship...
O protector of worries
O balm for the hearts of mothers
O intercessor for the exiled
