Peace to the Amir - Mubarak bin Saif al Thani

Swearing by God who upraised the sky,
Swearing by God who spread the light,
Qatar will always be free,
Elevated by the spirits of the loyal,
Follow the path of the ancestors,
And the prophets guidance.
In my heart, Qatar is an epic of dignity and glory,
Qatar is the land of the early men,
Who protect us at time of distress,
Doves they can be at times of peace,
Warriors they are at times of sacrifice.
Swearing by God who upraised the sky,
Swearing by God who spread the light,
Qatar will always be free,

Mubarak bin Saif al Thani (born 1953) Qatar
