[edit] Arabic lyrics

عيشي بلادي عاش اتحاد إماراتنا
عشت لشعب
دينه الإسلام هديه القرآن
حصنتك باسم الله يا وطن
بلادي بلادي بلادي بلادي
حماك الاله شرور الزمان
أقسمنا أن نبني نعمل
نعمل نخلص نعمل نخلص
مهما عشنا نخلص نخلص
دام الأمان و عاش العلم يا إماراتنا
رمز العروبة
كلنا نفديك بالدما نرويك
نفديك بالأرواح يا وطن

ʿĪschī bilādī, ʿāsch ittiḥādu imārātinā
ʿIschti li-schaʿbin Dīnuhu l-islāmu hadīhu l-qur'ānu
Ḥassantuki bismillāhi yā watan

Bilādī, bilādī, bilādī, bilādī

lamāki l-ilāhu shurūra z-zamāni
Aqsamnā an nabnī naʿmalu
Na'mal nuklis na'mal nuklis na'mal eeshna nuklis nuklis
Muhimman ʿischnā nachlasu nachlasu

Dām al-amān wa ʿāsch al-ʿalamu yā imārātīna
Ramzu l-ʿurūbati
Kullunā nafdīki bid-dimā nurwikī
Nafdīki bil-arwāhi yā watan

Live my country, the unity of our Emirates lives
You have lived for a nation
Whose religion is Islam and guide is the Qur'an
I made you stronger in God's name oh homeland
My country, My country, My country, My country
God has protected you from the evils of the time
We have sworn to build and work
Work sincerely, work sincerely
As long as we live, we'll be sincere sincere
The safety has lasted and the flag has lived oh our Emirates
The symbol of Arabism
We all sacrifice for you, we supply you with our blood
We sacrifice for you with our souls oh homeland
