سارعي للمجد و العلياء
مجدي لخالق السماء
و ارفعي الخفاق أخضر
يحمل النور المسطر
رددي الله أكبر يا موطني
موطني عشت فخر المسلمين
عاش المليك للعلم و الوطن |
- Sār‘ī le l-majd wa l-‘alyā',
- Majjedī le Khāleq as-Samā'!
- Wa arfa‘ī el khaffāq akhḍḍar
- Yaḥmil an-Nūr al-musaṭṭar
- Raddedi: Allahu akbar,
- Yā mawtanī!
- Mawtanī, ‘išta fakhr al-Muslimīn
- ‘Āsh al-Malik le l-‘alam wa l-watan![1]
|
- Hasten to glory and supremacy,
- Glorify the Creator of the heavens!
- And raise the green flag
- Carrying the emblem of Light,
- Repeating: Allah is the greatest,
- O my country!
- My country, Live as the glory of Muslims!
- Long live the King for the flag and the country![1]
