You were, are, and will forever remain free, defiant, and impregnable to every aggressor and greedy person. Our love for you, our homeland, is a source of pride and honor for us. We will defend you and protect you with all the strength we possess, and we will all remain loyal soldiers under the leadership of our Sheikh and leader, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, may God protect and preserve him

My homeland, O land that embraces the past and the present, O homeland we have loved since childhood, you are the one lovers have sung of, and your nights have enchanted them. You are like the anthem of life, for there is nothing more beautiful and magnificent than the land of one's homeland. And how beautiful it is for a person to live for their homeland, for you are the heart, the pulse, the artery, and the eyes, and we are devoted to you. For you are the love that never ceases and the giving that never runs dry. We regret only one thing, for I have but one life to give for the sake of my homeland
