| الله أكبر الله اكبر
والله أكبر فوق كيد المعتدي
الله للمظلوم خير مؤيد
أنا باليقين وبالسلاح سأفتدي
بلدي ونور الحق يسطع في يدي
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله الله الله أكبر
الله فوق المعتدي
يا هذه الدنيا أطلي واسمعي
جيش الأعادي جاء يبغي مصرعي
بالحق سوف أرده وبمدفعي
فإذا فنيت فسوف أفنيه معي
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله الله الله اكبر
الله فوق المعتدي | Oh this world, watch and listen:
The enemy came coveting my position,
I shall fight with Truth and defences
And if I die, I'll take him with me!
Say it with me, say it with me:
Allah , Allah , Allah is greatest!
Allah is above any attacker! |
| الله أكبر الله اكبر
قولوا معي الويل للمستعمر
وﷲ فوق الغادر المتجبر
الله أكبر يا بلادي كبري
وخذي بناصية المغير ودمري
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله الله الله أكبر
الله فوق المعتدي | Allah is Great Allah is Great
Say With Me Woe To The Enemy :
And Allah is Over The Invader Egotist,
Allah Greatest My Country Say with Me :
And Behold of Enemys Forelock and Destroy it
Say it with me, say it with me:
Allah , Allah , Allah is the Greatest
Allah is above any attacker! |

God is greatest!
God is greatest!
He is greatest over the aggressor's plot.
And He is the best helper of the oppressed.
With faith and with weapons I shall defend my country,
And the light of righteousness will shine in my hand.
Sing with me!
Sing with me!
God is greatest!
God is greatest!
God, God. God is greatest!
God is above the aggressors.
O world, look up and listen!
The enemy's army is coming, seeking my demise.
With justice and with my gun I shall repulse him.
And should I fall, I would take him with me.
God is greatest!
God is greatest!
Sing with me -
Woe to the Imperialists!
And God is above the treacherous tyrant.

Therefore glorify Him, O my country,
And seize the forehead of the tyrant
And destroy him!

Sing with me
God, God, God is greatest!
God is above the aggressors.
