Hees: Haybad 'Dignity'

1. In Somali:
  • Calankaagu waa hibo, sharaf kugu hagoogane,
  • Ciidaadu waa hodan, aad ku haqab beeshee,
  • Waa haleelo dihin oo, horweyn kuu irmaanoo, aad ku hiranaysee,
  • Haybad waxaad ku leedahay, dhulkaaga hooyo,
  • Waana lama huraanee, hagar li'i wax ugu qabo,
  • Hantiyey macaan, waa midaan hoy lagaa odhaneey helleyoow,

  • Hanfi iyo kulayliyo, baraf ma leh dhulkeenuye,
  • Innagaa halaynee, Soomaaliyey hoy,
  • Hoodaale weeyaan, deegaankeena hodanka ah, loo wada hamuumane,

2. In English:
  • Bestowel your flag is, envelopes you in honour,
  • Prosperous, your soil is, kerbs your urgencies,
  • Yours is a fertile terrain, udderful horweyn[1] to where you seek refuge,
  • Dignity, one adorns by virtue of one's motherly soil,
  • Indispensable it becomes, sacrifice for its duty,
  • O' its succulent affluence, one dares not muffle its citizen.

  • Hanfi[2], sweltering, and snow, ours has none,
  • Desecrated, we have O' progeny of Somal,
  • Auspicious, prosperous, and coveted, ours is,
  • Dignity one adorns by virtue of one's motherly soil,
  • Indispensable it becomes, sacrifice for its duty,
  • O' its succulent affluence, one dares not muffle its citizen.
