National Anthem of Saudi Arabia

The national anthem of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: النشيد الوطني السعودي, romanized: an-Našīd al-Waṭanī as-Suʿūdī, lit. 'Chant of the Saudi Nation'), which can be known by its incipit "Hasten!" (Arabic: سارعي, romanized: Sâregħi), was first adopted in 1950. A few years before, this song was a present given by the Fâruq of Egypt to King Abdulaziz when he visited Egypt.[1] It was composed by Abdol-Raħman al-Xaṭib, which was then rearranged by Serâġ Omar. Later in 1984, ‘Ebrâhim Xafâġi wrote the lyrics to the song; in the same year, the anthem was officially readopted with the lyrics.[2][3][4]

سَارِعِي

وَارْفَعِي الْخَفَّاقَ الْأَخْضَر

!رَدِّدِي اللهُ أَكْبَر
!يَا مَوْطِنِي

Hasten!
To glory and supremacy,
Exalt the Creator of heavens!
And raise the green flag
Carrying the written light of aegis;
Repeat: "Allahu Akbar!"
O my country!
My country,
As pride of Muslims live on!
Long live the King
For the flag
And the land!
