وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
وعلى جبينك طالع السعد

جوقة:
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
وعلى جبينك طالع السعد
وطني الكويت وطني الكويت
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد

١
يا مهد آباءالأولى كتبوا
سفرالخلود فنادت الشهب
الله أكبر إنهم عرب
طلعت كواكب جنة الخلد

جوقة

۲
بوركت يا وطني الكويت لنا
سكنا وعشت على المدى وطنا
يفديك حر في حماك بنى
صرح الحياة بأكرم الأيدي

جوقة

٣
نحميك يا وطني وشاهدنا
شرع الهدى والحق رائدنا
وأميرنا للعز قائدنا
رب الحمية صادق الوعد

جوقة

My homeland Kuwait, you have prospered to glory,
And on your forehead is an omen of fortune.

Chorus:
My homeland Kuwait, you have prospered to glory,
And on your forehead is an omen of fortune.
My homeland Kuwait, my homeland Kuwait,
My homeland Kuwait, you have prospered to glory.

Oh cradle of forefathers, they wrote
A book of eternity, then the meteors called
God is the greatest, indeed Arabs
Ascended as the planets of paradise of perpetuity.

Chorus

II
Blessed be my homeland Kuwait, for us
It was peaceful, and you lived on the extent of the homeland
Kept free in your protection to build
A palace of life with the most generous arms.

Chorus

III
Let us protect, oh my homeland, and we witnessed
The revealing of the guidance and the truth, our pioneer,
And our Amir is the powerful, our leader,
The master of my protection, the truthful of the promise.

Chorus
