Lyrics

Arabic Transliteration English translation
سارعي للمجد و العلياء

مجدي لخالق السماء
و ارفعي الخفاق الاخضر
يحمل النور المسطر
رددي الله أكبر
يا موطني
موطني عشت فخر المسلمين

عاش المليك للعلم و الوطن
Sārʿī le l-majd-i wa l-ʿalyāʾ,
Májjedī le-Khāleq as-Samā'!
W-arfaʿī al-khaffāq al-ákhḍar
Yáḥmil an-Nūr al-musáṭṭar
Ráddedi: Aḷḷāhu ákbar,
Yā mawtanī!
Mawtanī, ʿíšta fakhr al-Muslimīn
ʿĀsh al-Malīk le l-ʿalám wa l-waṭán![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]
