English translation:

Repeat, O World, my song.
Echo it over and over again.
Remember, through my joy, each martyr.
Clothe him with the shining mantles of our festivals.

Repeat, O World, my song.

My unity, Oh marvelous song which fills my heart,
You are the promise of all to come,
My banner, Oh cloth nailed from every sun
Raised forever, on every peak
My nation, give me strength, Oh source of strength
And save me for you, the best of nations.

In faith and love I am part of mankind,
And I shall march first among the Arabs.
And my heart beat shall remain that of a Yemenite.
No foreigner shall ever hold dominion over Yemen.
