as-Salam al-Amiri

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The national anthem of Qatar has consisted of the song "Long Live the Emir" ( Arabic السلام الأميري, DMG as-Salām al-Amīrī ). The text was written by Sheikh Mubarak bin Saif Al Thani (* 1953). The music was composed by Abdul Aziz Nasser Obaidan (* 1952). The occasion was the accession of the emir Sheikh Hamad bin Chalifa Al Thani to the throne . The anthem was first played in public in 1996.

The hymn celebrates the freedom and greatness of Qatar and calls on the people to lead the glorious path of their ancestors under the guidance of the Prophet. The phrase "who lifted up heaven" stands for God. This expression is used in the Koran ( sura 55 , verse 7).

Arabic Transcription according to DMG German translation
قسماً قسماً

بمن رفع السماء قسما
قسما بمن نشر الضياء
قطر ستبقى حرة
تسمو بروح الاوفياء
سيروا على نهج الألى
وعلى ضياء الأنبياء
قطر بقلبي سيرة
عز وأمجاد الإباء
قطر الرجال الأولين
حماتنا يوم النداء
وحمائم يوم السلام

جوارح يوم الفداء

We swear, we swear
We swear by Him who established heaven
We swear by Him who spread the light
Qatar will always be free.
Exalted by the souls of the righteous.

and continue under the guidance of the Prophet
Qatar is
an epic of glory and honor in my heart.
Qatar is a land of leaders
who protect us in times of need.
They can be doves in peacetime
and warriors in times of sacrifice
