lyric (English Transliteration)

Humath al diari aleikum salam
Abt aan tozala al nafusu al kiram
Aareiunu al urubthi beyton haram
Wa Aarshu al shumusu himan la yudam
Robughu al shami buruju al Aala
Tohaki al suma'a bia'ali alsana
Fa ardon za het bilshumus al widaa'a
Samaon lamroka ou ka sama
Rafifu alamani wakhafuq alfuad
Aala aalamen duma shamla al bilad
Ama fihi min kul ain suwad
Wamin dami kuli shahydin midad
Noufuson ubaton wa madin magid
Wa ruhu al adahi raqibon aatid
Fa minna al walidu wa minna al rashid
Fa lem la nasudu wa lem la nasheed
