Sudan's National Anthem - what an embarassment

This is the national anthem of the Republic of Sudan. No matter how you spin it, it sounds like it was composed by a 7 year old. The lyrics are just horrible:

نحن جند الله، جند الوطن

إن دعا داعي الفداء، لن نخــن

نتحدى الموت عند المحن

نشتري المجد بأغلى ثمن

هذه الأرض لنا فليعش

سوداننا علماً بين الأمم

يابني السودان هذا رمزكم

يحمل العبء ويحمى أرضكم

"We are the soldiers of Allah, soldiers of the nation,

If the caller for sacrifice summons, we will not betray.

We challenge death (at times of) hardship,

We purchase glory with the highest cost .

This land is for us, so may it live!

Sudan is eminent among the nations.

O son of Sudan, this is your symbol!

It carries the burden and protects your land."

This was the former anthem of the Sudan Defense Force, which after independence became the Sudanese Armed Forces, whose former anthem became the national anthem of the whole country! It seems like the whole country was unprepared for independence by 1956. There wasn't a laid down constitution, there was a draft working constitution, and it was written in Arabic, much to the chagrin of the majority that didn't speak Arabic as a first language. 

There was a desire by the Jallab, and only the Jallab really, to rid themselves of the British before anything else. Self-rule came in second. The Jallab used to call the British colonizer Nusrani and (pl.) Nassara, as though they never met a Christian before. They were humiliated that, as Muslims, infidels should rule over them. They did not understand what they inherited: it was a gift of potential that a handful of other countries throughout the whole world had surpassed in potential. They ruined it because Sudan must be ruled by the law of Allah yada yada yada.

They do not know themselves, simply because they do not know their past. And for that, they have no future, but one of perpetual poverty and anguish. If that is the life they want, then they should go and drown themselves in the Nile, for being happy pariahs and being dangerous to everyone around them. They were going to establish an Islamic state anyway, despite all other pretensions. The suits, the Shakespearian English, the political theories and the excesses were just luxuries or accessories. What truly matters to a Jallabi is what the Sheikh said and what the Quran says.

Sometimes I hope to God that a new people arrive, and throw these fear-paralyzed, constantly-upset narrow-minded honorless spineless Jallaba's into the Nile river and watch them swim. Then let those people have the Jallaba women. Thank God that South Sudan broke away; at least someone can move forward. (In all truth, the South Sudanese rebelled constantly until they got what they asked for; they fought and fought since 1956 and never gave up, while the Jallab submitted to any master and accepted any humiliation and oppression from any dictator that ruled over them.)

This ought to be the national anthem of a new Kush:

The first 2 minutes and 49 seconds of the "Epic of October", written by Hisham Mirghani and performed by Mohammed al-Amin's band just behind him.

(With important modifications, of course. I'd like the post-intro to be slower, with a louder, better-timed percussions, and perfectly timed crashing snares just before the loop picks up. And a few other proposals too.)

LYRICS:

When the night of oppression prolonged,

And that dawn of light in our eyes vanished,

We said, "Let restore

the past of yore,

the past of our forefathers

who defeated the tyrant

and demolished the castle of the tyrant's oppression (?)!"
