Simula noon hanggang ngayon Iisa ang naging layon Magkaisa at magbuklod Kagitingan ay marudob Tumayo tayo mula sa hamon ng nakaraan Niyapos ang panganib na humahadlang Pinangako sa puso at paniniwala Ang ginhawang para sa kabataan
Bansamoro'y tagumpay Bunga ng pawis, dugo, at buhay Kapayapaan, katarungan Ay atin nang nakamtan Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah Pagpalain Bangsamoro Bangsamoro, Bangsamoro Lagi kang mamahalin Walang pipigil sa damdamin Mga pangako'y tutuparin Habang-buhay kami sayo'y magbabantay
Mananatili sa puso't isipan Ang kahapong humimlay na Nagbuwis ng buhay Nasa piling nang maykapal
Bansamoro'y tagumpay Bunga ng pawis, dugo, at buhay Kapayapaan, katarungan Ay atin nang nakamtan Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah Pagpalin Bangsamoro
