اليوم بو خالد سليل الميامين

Al-yawm Bu Khalid saleel al-mayameen

Today is the day of Bu Khalid, descendant of the glorious

حامي ذراها ابن زايد وأمنها

Hami tharaha Ibn Zayed wa amnahā

The protector of its land, Ibn Zayed, and its security

مجدٍ مضى و حاضر بكل الموازين

Majd'in madha wa hadhir bi-kull al-mawazeen

Glory that passed and is present in all measures

شيخٍ رقى العليا وثبت ركنها

Shaikh'in raqa al-'ulya wa thabbat ruknaha

A sheikh who ascended to the highest and solidified its pillar

عند اللقى يثني رقاب العصيين

Inda al-liqa yathni riqab al-'asiyeen

Upon encounter, he bends the necks of the disobedient

شديد باسٍ و الفتن قد دفنها

Shadeed ba'sin wa al-fitan qad dafanaha

Strong in might, and he has buried seditions

قايد عظيم الشان طلق الحجاجين

Qayid 'adheem al-sha'n talq al-hajjajeen

A great leader, noble in status, with a bright countenance

ياسي و عزمه ترجف القاع منها

Yaasi wa 'azmuhu tarjuf al-qa' min-ha

His might and determination make the ground tremble

قرمٍ على الشدات و مواقفه تبين

Qarm'in 'ala al-shaddat wa mawaqifuhu tabeen

A brave one in hardships, and his stances are clear

لي طارت قلوب الخلايق ذهنها

Li tarat quloob al-khala'iq thihnaha

When the hearts of people fly away in fear

طودٍ تعلى فوق روس المعادين

Tawd'in ta'alla fawqa roos al-ma'adeen

A mountain that rises above the heads of enemies

بأفعال جوده ما تِقدر ثمنها

Bi-af'al joodihi ma taqdir thamanaha

The value of his generous deeds cannot be estimated

شامخ ولا يخضع ولا يمكن يلين

Shamikh wa la yakhdha' wa la yumkin yaleen

Lofty, he does not submit, nor can he ever soften

رجل المواقف و الشهامة زبنها

Rajul al-mawaqif wa al-shahama zabanaha

A man of stances, and chivalry is his refuge

ما يهاب لو شبت حروب و براكين

Ma yahab law shabbat hurub wa barakeen

He does not fear, even if wars and volcanoes erupt

بشجاعةٍ كسرت جموع و حصنها

Bi-shaja'atin kasarat jumoo' wa husnaha

With courage that broke armies and their fortresses

راعي السياسة يذلل المستخفين

Ra'i al-siyasa yuthallil al-mustakhaffeen

The master of politics humbles the arrogant

و عقارب الساعة يسابق زمنها

Wa 'aqarib al-sa'a yusabiq zamanaha

And he outruns the hands of the clock with his time

يرخص بيوم الضيق غالي المثامين

Yarkhas bi-yawm al-dheeq ghali al-mathameen

He sacrifices precious things in times of distress

غيـث الـوطـن يمضي و كفه مزنها

Ghayth al-watan yamdhi wa kaffuhu muznaha

The rain of the homeland passes, and his hand is its cloud

ياس العريقة قاطعين الشرايين

Yas al-'areeqa qati'een al-sharayeen

The ancient Yas, severing arteries

لد الغريم اللي خضع في عننها

Lid al-ghareem alladhi khadha'a fi 'inanaha

To the adversary who submitted to its reins

بني ياس ورد الموت فخر الميادين

Bani Yas wa rad al-mawt fakhr al-mayadeen

Bani Yas, they face death, the pride of the fields

رايات عز و كل طاغي محنها

Rayat 'izz wa kull taghi muhannaha

Banners of glory, and every tyrant is tested by them
