My unity, my unity O marvelous song which fills my heart, You are the promise of all to come, My banner, my banner O cloth nailed from every sun Raised forever, on every peak My nation, my nation give me strength, o source of strength And save me for you, the best of nations.

In faith and love I am part of mankind, And I shall march first among the Arabs. And my heart beat shall remain that of a Yemenite. No foreigner shall ever hold dominion over my land.
