Mawtini (Arabic: موطني‎ “My Homeland”) is a popular poem written by famous Palestinian poet Ibrahim Touqan (Arabic: إبراهيم طوقان) circa 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.

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

[edit] Arabic Lyrics

مَــوطِــنِــي مَــوطِــنِــي

الجـلالُ والجـمالُ والسَّــنَاءُ والبَهَاءُ

فـــي رُبَــاكْ فــي رُبَـــاكْ

والحـياةُ والنـجاةُ والهـناءُ والرجـاءُ

فــي هـــواكْ فــي هـــواكْ

هـــــلْ أراكْ هـــــلْ أراكْ

سـالِماً مُـنَـعَّـماً و غانما مكرما سالما منعما و غانما مكرما

هـــــلْ أراكْ فـي عُـــلاكْ

تبـلُـغُ السِّـمَـاكْ تبـلـغُ السِّـمَاك

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

[edit] English Translation

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 your air

When will I see you? When will I see you?

Secure and prosperous

Victorious and honored

Will I see you in your eminence

Reaching the stars, reaching the stars?

My homeland, my homeland

Our youth will not tire, until your independence

Or they will die, or they will die

We will drink from death and never 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 illustrious history, our illustrious history

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 honor, Our honor

Is a noble cause and a waving banner

O, behold you in your eminence

Victorious over your enemies

My homeland, my homeland
