gabar yaroo subhaano
maro shabeelo hirato
maro qafiifa huwato
maga'aaga ii sheeg
magaeygu waa sharaf
sharaf haaji weeyan
aqalada hariirta
dhina baan ka jooga
alla ya u sheega
tinta u shanleeya
nahoy zamzamey
sabaah nuurey
adoo kin kin iyo
kaluun badaneey
adoo hajka jira
xasuus badaneey
sahiibtaa asho ashaq baa dilay
ugu dambeyntiina
aniyo geeluba
wa u banaanbahnay
(chorus)
wanagii orodnee
nabad barinee
mareykan waa laga soo waayay(3x)
