Ishhi Biladi Asha tihaadu imaaratinah

Ramzul Arooba Kullu na nafdeeqi
Biddi manarweeqi
Nafdeeqa Bil arwah ya Watan

UAE National Anthem – Ishy Bilady Lyrics in Arabic

عيشي بلادي عاش اتحاد إماراتنا
عشت لشعب
دينه الإسلام هديه القرآن
حصنتك باسم الله يا وطن
بلادي بلادي بلادي بلادي
حماك الإله شرور الزمان
أقسمنا أن نبني نعمل
نعمل نخلص نعمل نخلص
مهما عشنا نخلص نخلص
دام الأمان و عاش العلم يا إماراتنا
رمز العروبة
كلنا نفديك بالدما نرويك
نفديك بالأرواح يا وطن

Ishy Bilady – UAE National Anthem meaning in English

Long live my country, live United, our Emirates
Your life for your people
Whose religion is Islam and whose guide is the Quran
We fortify you with the name of Allah, oh my homeland
My country, my country, my country, my country
Allah protects you from evil throughout time
Each of us swears to build you and work for you
Our work is pure, we work in purity
with all our lives, pure and unequivocal
The peace is everlasting and the flag lives on, my Emirates
You are the symbol of the Arab character
Every one of us sacrifices with all of our blood
We sacrifice with our very souls, oh, my homeland
