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

- 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]
