1. O sail behind the Tigris flowing
In my tears, the paths avoided you

2. Walk on the water steadily like Christ
And flow in the sea like the guiding ray

3. And come to the ground, fragrant like eternity
Or like its paradise, a happy valley

4. Stop, wait, and take safety for my heart
From the eyes of temptation beyond the gloom

5. And the forgetful and the regretful, give them safety
A night companion fills the darkness or a friend

6. Above it the skill strode
In the dust of ancestors and forefathers

7. A nation that builds life and constructs
Like the building of glorious fatherhood

8. Under a crown of kinship and kingdom
On the heads of an Arabian steed

9. King of the shore and two rivers, and the hero
Greatest with Faisal and the countries
