7We salute you, o Motherland, in unity
With an abundance with well-wishes in our very own tongue

I
Bowing our heads to your crescent moon and star
With our bright colours streaming in the air, we hail our buoyant flag.

II
Victory and good fortune be its alone
We salute the mighty red, white and green;

III
To those heroes who sought out honour and pride for the nation
We give salute today in auspicious verses of remembrance.

IV
May there be fame and good wealth for Maldivian land
And Maldivians' name become grand

V
We wish for their freedom and progress in this world
And for their freedom from sorrows, and thus we salute.

VI
With full respect and heartfelt blessing towards religion and our leaders,
We salute you in uprightness and truth.

VII
May the State ever have auspicious honour and respect.
With good wishes for your continuing might, we salute you.
