Oh my country! You are the heritage of grandfathers, May God cast off any hand that would harm you, Do survive! We are for ever your soldiers, If you survive we care not who perishes. To you we give solemn pledges, that we, Oh Libya, will never fail you. We will never go back to fetters, we have been liberated, and we have freed our home country, Libya, Libya, Libya.
Our grandfathers carried their swords when struggle called on them Carrying the holy Quran in a hand, and the swords in the other They fought till they spread religion, peace and prosperity all over the world Eternity for them They have built our integrity, Libya, Libya, Libya.
Oh the son of Libya, the son of lions We are for glory And glory is yours Since we began our struggle, all people were with us May god protect our independence Seek the ultimate heights And be ready for the struggle, our youth Life is a war for the glory of our home land Libya, Libya, Libya. |
