Lyrics

Arabic Transliteration English translation

منبت الأحرار
مشرق الأنوار
منتدى السؤدد وحماه
دمت منتداه وحماه
عشت في الأوطان
للعلا عنوان
ملء كل جنان
ذكرى كل لسان
بالروح
بالجسد
هب فتاك
لبي نداك
في فمي وفي دمي
هواك ثار نور ونار
اخوتي هيا
للعلا سعيا
نشهد الدنيا
أنا هنا نحيا
بشعار
الله الوطن الملك

Root of the free,
Rising place of the Lights.
Forum of glory and its protector.
May you perpetuate as its forum and its protector.
May you live among the homelands,
As an address for grandeur
Filling every garden.
conveyed by every tongue.
With the spirit,
With the body,
Your son has come,
To answer your call.
In my mouth and in my blood,
Your love stirred up as light and fire.
Let’s go brothers!
Heading for grandeur,
Making the world witness,
That we here perpetually live,
With the motto:
God, homeland, king.
