ANTHEM WORDS

Long Live Our Beloved King

Hasten to glory and supremacy!
Glorify the Creator of the heavens
And raise the green, fluttering flag,
Carrying the emblem of Light!

O my country,
My country, may you always live,
The glory of all Muslims!
Long live the King,
For the flag and the country!
