Song lyrics:

This the UAE as the world celebrates it
Its seas, cities and its endless deserts
For fifty years…its beauty encompassed in
its earth… celebrated… glorified.
Its name brings joy to those who utter it
Today, its name is engraved in space
The moon greets it every night with love
And dawn brings it every morning a new hope
Its land once equated with authenticity
Its soil is fragrant, sweet-scented.  
It assumes its position center stage
Under a leader who governed by moral codes and tenets
Its love found its place in people’s hearts
Its number one position is echoed in the four corners of the world
Pride of Arabs, its love overflows with abundance
Chivalry is at its essence, synonymous to its name
This is the UAE. May it prosper and continue to
be a land of love from its east to its west.

-Ends-
