Original Lyrics in Arabic
عاش المليك
عاش المليك
سامياً مقامه
خافقات في المعالي أعلامه
Chorus:
نحن أحرزنا المنى
يوم أحييت لنا
نهضة تحفزنا
تتسامى فوق هامات النجوم
يا مليك العرب
لك من خير نبي
شرف في النسب
حدثت عنه بطون الكتب
Chorus:
عاش المليك
عاش المليك
سامياً مقامه
خافقات في المعالي أعلامه

Long live the King
Long live the King
His position is sublime
His flags waving in glory supreme
Chorus:
We achieved our wish
On the day you revived for us
A renaissance motivating us
To reach for the highest stars
O King of the Arabs
You are the best prophet’s descendant
Honorable over the generations
Spoken of in every book
Chorus:
Long live the King
Long live the King
His position is sublime
His flags waving in glory supreme
