Arabic original[1] Romanisation IPA transcription English translation

نحن جند الله جند الوطن
إن دعى داعي الفداء لم نخن
نتحدى الموت عند المحن
نشتري المجد بأغلى ثمن
هذه الأرض لنا فليعش سوداننا
عالما بين الأمم
يا بني السودان هذا رمزكم
يحمل العبء ويحمي أرضكم

Naḥnu jundu Allāh jundu l-waṭan
ʾIn daʿā dāʿī al-fidāʾ lam nakhun
Nataḥaddā l-mawt ʿinda l-miḥan,
nashtarī l-majda bi-ʾaghlā thaman
Hādhihī l-ʾarḍu lanā fal-yaʿish Sūdānunā,
ʿalaman bayna l-ʾumam
Yā banī s-Sūdān, hādhā ramzukum
yaḥmilu l-ʿibʾa wa yaḥmī ʾarḍakum.

We are soldiers of god, soldiers of the homeland,
if called for redemption we will not betray
We defy death upon ordeals,
we buy glory at the most expensive price
This land is ours, long live our Sudan,
an edifice among the nations
O Sons of the Sudan this is your symbol,
carry the burden and protect your land.
