Proposed:
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. al-Haliya is inherent in us and Solentia 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. 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. We swear by sword and the speech of pride And the neighing of horses when in duty We are the wall of its limtless range And the roarings of people in days of war We inherited the flags of the Prophet from desert And the Majatran nature and pride Glorify well the Land of the Majatran We have risen, oh Sun set The tanned foreheads are filled with laughter and love And firmness that cruised for humans their way O you who is leading his people to supreme elevation Make of the horizons our battlefields. 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. |
