English translation

Swearing by God who erected the sky


Swearing by God who spread the light


Qatar will always be free


Sublimed by the souls of the sincere


Proceed thou on the manners of the ascendants


And advance on Prophet's guidance


In my heart,


Qatar is an epic of glory and dignity


Qatar is land of the early men


Who protect us in time of distress,


Doves they can be at times of peace,


Warriors they are at times of sacrifice
