National Anthem
The national anthem, written by His Excellency Sheikh Mubarak bin Saif Al Thani, was played for the first time on December 7, 1996, during the summit of the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, which was held in Doha at that time.
Swearing by God who raised the sky
Swearing by God who spread the light
Qatar will always be free
Elevated by the souls of the loyal
Follow the path of the ancestors
And the prophets' guidance
In my heart
Qatar is an epic of dignity and glory
Qatar is land of the forefathers
Who protect us on call up to sacrifice
Dovish at times of peace
Hawkish at times of sacrifice
