- Qoloba calankeedu,
- Waa cayn oo,
- Innaga keenu waa,
- Cirka oo kale ee,
- Oo aan caadna lahayn,
- Ee caashaqa ee.
- Xidig yahay caddi waa aad,
- Noo ciidamisee,
- Carrada keligaa,
- Adaa u curad ee,
- Cadceedda sideeda,
- Caan noqo ee.
- Sidii culaygii,
- Ciiddaad marisee,
- Alloow ha ku celin,
- Alloow ha ku celin.
English lyrics
- Any nation’s flag, bears its own color
- The sky (above us), does ours look like
- Defects it has none; love it with candor
- Oh you White Star, at your service we are
- Superior you are, in any part of our land
- Be famous oh Star, like the sun (of the far)
- On the day you arose, our hearts you have
- Purified with pureness, (Oh you our flag)
- Lord may not dim you, pray we in this night
- The detached part of, our forces of five
- I beseech from God, their return you cause
- This fate that wrote, for us to meet now
