National Anthem of the Syrian A. R. - Ḥumāt ad-Diyār - حماة الديار

The national anthem of the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria).

Lyrics in Arabic:
حُـماةَ الـدِّيارِ عليكمْ سـلامْ
‎ّأبَتْ أنْ تـذِلَّ النفـوسُ الكرامّ
‎عـرينُ العروبةِ بيتٌ حَـرام
‎وعرشُ الشّموسِ حِمَىً لا يُضَامْ
ربوعُ الشّـآمِ بـروجُ العَـلا
‎تُحاكي السّـماءَ بعـالي السَّـنا
‎فأرضٌ زهتْ بالشّموسِ الوِضَا
‎سَـماءٌ لَعَمـرُكَ أو كالسَّـما
رفيـفُ الأماني وخَفـقُ الفؤادْ
‎عـلى عَـلَمٍ ضَمَّ شَـمْلَ البلادْ
‎أما فيهِ منْ كُـلِّ عـينٍ سَـوادْ
‎ومِـن دمِ كـلِّ شَـهيدٍ مِـدادْ؟
نفـوسٌ أبـاةٌ ومـاضٍ مجيـدْ
وروحُ الأضاحي رقيبٌ عَـتيدْ
فمِـنّا الوليـدُ و مِـنّا الرّشـيدْ
فلـمْ لا نَسُـودُ ولِمْ لا نشيد؟

English Translation:
Guardians of homeland, upon you be peace,
our ever-proud souls refuse to be seized.
The den of Arabism is our sacred home,
and the throne of our suns will never go down.
The mountains of Syria are towers in height,
which talk with the zenith of the highest skies.
A land that is splendid with brilliant sun,
turning to a sky or almost a sky.
The flutter of our hopes and the beats of our hearts,
depicted on the flag that united our land.
Did we not derive the black from every man's eye,
and from ink of martyrs' blood wrote to the tall sky?
Spirits defiant and past so glorious,
and the martyrs' souls are our guardians.
From us, a nation of souls and bravery,
Thy glory comes from us, my homeland!
