Original Lyrics in Arabic
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
وعلى جبينك طالع السعد
وطني الكويت وطني الكويت
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
يا مهد آبائي الأولى كتبوا
سفرالخلود فنادت الشهب
الله أكبر إنهم عرب
طلعت كواكب جنة الخلد
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
وعلى جبينك طالع السعد
وطني الكويت وطني الكويت
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
بوركت يا وطني الكويت لنا
سكناً وعشت على المدى وطنا
يفديك حر في حماك بنى
صرح الحياة بأكرم الأيدي
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
وعلى جبينك طالع السعد
وطني الكويت وطني الكويت
وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
