  Tekst
  Watanun Medde Alalufqui Janaha
  Warteda Majdalkadarati Wisha
  Burikat Ardulfurataini Watan
  Abqariyyalmajd Azmen Wa Samaha Wata ha.
  
  Hathihil-ardu Lehibun Wa Sana
  Wa Shumukhum La Tudanini Sama
  Jabalun Yesmu Ala Hamil-duna
  Wa Suhulun Jassadat Fina-l-iba
  Babilun Fina Wa Ashourun Lena
  Wa Bina-l-tarikhu Yakhdallu Dia
  Nahnu Fin-nasi Jamana Wahduna
  Ghadbat As-sayfi Wa Hilm Al-anbiya.
  
  Ya Saraya Al-bathi Ya Usde-l-arin
  Ya Shumukh Al-izzi Wal-majd It-talid
  Izahafi Kal-hawli Lin-nasri-l-mubin
  Wab Athi Fi Ardina Ahda-r-rashid
  Nahnu Jeel-ul-bathli Fajru-l-kadihin
  Ya Rihab Al-majd Udna Min Jadid
  Ummatun Nabni Bi Azmin La Yalim
  Wa Shahidun Yaqatfi Khatwa Shahid.

  Wa Qila Al-izzi Yebniba Al-rifag
  Dumta Lil-urbi Malathan Ya Iraq
  Wa Shumusan Tajalu-l-layla Sabaha.
  
  Engelse vertaling
  A home land that extended its wings over the horizon,
  And wore the glory of civilization as a garment -
  Blessed be the land of the two rivers,
  A homeland of glorious determination and tolerance.
  
  This homeland is made of flame and splendour
  And pride unequalled by the high heavens.
  It is a mountain that rises above the tops of the world
  And a plain that embodies our pride.
  Babylon is inherent in us and Assyria is ours,
  And because of the glory of our background
  History itself radiates with light,
  And it is we alone who possess the anger of the sword
  And the patience of the prophets.
  
  Oh company of al-Ba'th, you pride of lions,
  Oh pinnacle of pride and of inherited glory,
  Advance, bringing terror, to a certain victory
  And resurrect the time of al-Rashid in our land!
  We are a generation who give all and toil to the utmost.
  
  Oh expanse of glory, we have returned anew
  To a nation that we build with unyielding determination.
  And each martyr follows in the footsteps of a former martyr.
  Our mighty nation is filled with pride and vigour
  And the comrades build the fortresses of glory.
  Oh Iraq, may you remain forever a refuge for all the Arabs
  And be as suns that turn night into day!
