We inherited the flags of the Prophet from desert
And the Arabian nature and pride
Glorify well the Land of the Arabs
We have risen, oh Sun set
The tanned foreheads are filled with laughter and love
And firmness that cruised for humans their way

Oh pinnacle of pride and of inherited glory,

Advance, like terror, to a certain victory
And resurrect the time of al-Rashid in our land!
We are a generation who give all and toil to the utmost.
Oh expanse of glory, we have returned anew
To a nation that we build with unyielding determination.
And each martyr follows the footsteps of a former martyr.
Our mighty nation is filled with pride and vigour
And the comrades build the fortresses of glory.
