Mawtini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Mawtini" (My Homeland) (Arabic: موطني) is a popular poem written by famous Palestinian poet Ibrahim Touqan (Arabic: إبراهيم طوقان) around 1934 in Palestine and became the de facto national anthem of Palestine and Iraq. The original music was composed by Muhammad Fuliefil (Arabic: محمد فليفل). During the years it became very popular through the Arab world.

Listen to the original performance[1]

Recently it was re-adopted as the national anthem of Iraq replacing the old anthem Ardh Alforatain (1979-2003) associated with Saddam's Baath regime.

مَــوطِــنــي مَــوطِــنِــي

الجـلالُ والجـمالُ والسَّــنَاءُ والبَهَاءُ

فـــي رُبَــاكْ فــي رُبَـــاكْ


والحـياةُ والنـجاةُ والهـناءُ والرجـاءُ

فــي هـــواكْ فــي هـــواكْ

هـــــلْ أراكْ هـــــلْ أراكْ

سـالِماً مُـنَـعَّـماً وَ غانِـمَاً مُـكَرَّمَاً


هـــــلْ أراكْ فـي عُـــلاكْ

تبـلُـغُ السِّـمَـاكْ تبـلـغُ السِّـمَاك

مَــوطِــنِــي مَــوطِــنِــي


مَــوطِــنِــي مَــوطِــنِــي

الشبابُ لنْ يكِلَّ هَمُّهُ أنْ تستَقِـلَّ أو يَبيدْ

نَستقي منَ الـرَّدَى ولنْ نكونَ للعِــدَى

كالعَـبـيـــــدْ كالعَـبـيـــــدْ


لا نُريــــــدْ لا نُريــــــدْ

ذُلَّـنَـا المُـؤَبَّـدا وعَيشَـنَا المُنَكَّـدا

لا نُريــــــدْ بـلْ نُعيــــدْ

مَـجـدَنا التّـليـدْ مَـجـدَنا التّليـدْ

مَــوطِــنــي مَــوطِــنِــي


مَــوطِــنِــي مَــوطِــنِــي

الحُسَامُ و اليَـرَاعُ لا الكـلامُ والنزاعُ

رَمْــــــزُنا رَمْــــــزُنا

مَـجدُنا و عـهدُنا وواجـبٌ منَ الوَفا

يهُــــــزُّنا يهُــــــزُّنا


عِـــــــزُّنا عِـــــــزُّنا

غايةٌ تُـشَــرِّفُ و رايـةٌ ترَفـرِفُ

يا هَـــنَــاكْ فـي عُـــلاكْ

قاهِراً عِـــداكْ قاهِـراً عِــداكْ

مَــوطِــنِــي مَــوطِــنِــي

My homeland, My homeland,
Majesty and beauty, sublimity and splendor,
Are in your hills, Are in your hills,
Life and deliverance, pleasure and hope
Are in your air, Are in you air
Will I see you? Will I see you?
Safe and comforted, Sound and honored
Will I see you in your eminence?
Reaching to the stars, Reaching to the stars
My homeland, My homeland
My homeland, My homeland
The youth will not tire, 'till your independence
Or they die
We will drink from death
And we will not be to our enemies
Like slaves, Like slaves
We do not want, We do not want
An eternal humiliation
Nor a miserable life,
We do not want
But we will bring back
Our storied glory, Our storied glory
My homeland, My homeland
The sword and the pen
Not the talk nor the quarrel
Are our symbols, Are our symbols
Our glory and our covenant
And a duty to be faithful
Arouse us, Arouse us
Our glory, Our glory
Is an honorable cause
And a waving standard
O, behold you
In your eminence
Victorious over your enemies
Victorious over your enemies
My homeland, My homeland
