version:
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! |
