English Translation
- A home land that extended its wings over the horizon,
- And wore the glory of civilization as a garment -
- Blessed be the land of the two rivers,
- A homeland of glorious determination and tolerance.
- This homeland is made of flame and splendour
- And pride unequalled by the high heavens.
- It is a mountain that rises above the tops of the world
- And a plain that embodies our pride.
- Babylon is inherent in us and Assyria is ours,
- And because of the glory of our background
- History itself radiates with light,
- And it is we alone who possess the anger of the sword
- And the patience of the prophets.
- Oh company of al-Ba'th, you pride of lions,
- Oh pinnacle of pride and of inherited glory,
- Advance, bringing terror, to a certain victory
- And resurrect the time of al-Rashid in our land!
- We are a generation who give all and toil to the utmost.
- Oh expanse of glory, we have returned anew
- To a nation that we build with unyielding determination.
- And each martyr follows in the footsteps of a former martyr.
- Our mighty nation is filled with pride and vigour
- And the comrades build the fortresses of glory.
- Oh Iraq, may you remain forever a refuge for all the Arabs
- And be as suns that turn night into day!
