 Saudi Arabia
Lyrics Ibrahim Khafaji, 1984
Music Abdul Rahman Al-Khateeb, 1947
Adopted 1950, 1984
Music sample
as-Salām al-Malakiyy (Instrumental)

The National Anthem of The Kingdom Saudi Arabia (النشيد الوطني السعودي) was first officially adopted in 1950 with no lyrics and then again in 1984 with lyrics. The original composition was by Abdul-Rahman al-Khateeb (عبد الرحمن الخطيب) in 1947 and the brass instrumental version was later arranged by Seraj Omar (سراج عمر). The lyrics (1984) were written by Ibrahim Khafaji (إبراهيم خفاجي).

It is referred to simply as The National Anthem (النشيد الوطني an-Našīd al-Waṭaniyy), although Sārʿī (سارعي) is a common name for the lyrics, taken from the first verse (سارعي للمجد والعلياء Sārʿī lil-maǧdi wal-ʿalyāʾ) "Hasten to glory and supremacy!" The instrumental version is called the Royal Salute (السلام الملكي as-Salām al-Malakiyy) which is also the name of the ceremony in which it is played to salute senior members of the royal family as well as diplomatic figures.

The lyrics call upon the country to hasten to greatness and raise the flag, glorifies God and asks Him to grant the King of Saudi Arabia long life.

Lyrics [edit]

Arabic Transliteration English translation[citation needed]
سارعي

للمجد والعلياء
مجدي لخالق السماء
وارفعي الخفاق أخضر
يحمل النور المسطر
رددي الله أكبر
يا موطني
موطني
قد عشت فخر المسلمين
عاش المليك
للعلم

والوطن
Sārʿī
Li-l-maǧdi wa-l-ʿalyāʾ,
Maǧǧidī li-ḫāliqi s-samāʾ!
Wa-rfaʿī l-ḫaffāqa l-ʾaḫḍar
Yaḥmilu n-nūra l-musaṭṭar
Raddidī: Allāhu ʾakbar,
Yā mawṭinī!
Mawṭinī,
Khad ʿišta faḫra l-muslimīn
ʿĀša l-malik
Li-l-ʿalam
Wa-l-waṭan!
Hasten
To glory and supremacy,
Glorify the Creator of the heavens!
And raise the green flag
Carrying the written light reflecting guidance,
Repeat: Allahu Akbar! [1]
O my country!
My country,
Live as the glory of Muslims!
Long live the King
For the flag
And the homeland!

Notes [edit]

  1. ^ "Allahu Akbar" means "Allah is the Greatest" in Arabic, but is expressed the same way by every Muslim in the world, regardless of their language.
