Song lyrics: This the UAE as the world celebrates it Its seas, cities and its endless deserts For 50 years … its beauty encompassed in Its earth … celebrated … glorified Its name brings joy to those who utter it Today, its name is engraved in space The Moon greets it every night with love And dawn brings it every morning a new hope Its land once equated with authenticity Its soil is fragrant, sweet-scented. It assumes its position centre stage Under a leader who governed by moral codes and tenets Its love found its place in people’s hearts Its number-one position is echoed in the four corners of the world Pride of Arabs, its love overflows with abundance Chivalry is at its essence, synonymous to its name This is the UAE. May it proposer and continue to Be a land of love from its east to its west.
