بِلَادَ الْأُبَاةِ الْهُدَاةِ الْكِرَامْ

وَحِصْنَ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامْ

أَيَا مُورِيتَانِ رَبِيعَ الْوِئَامْ

وَرُكْنَ السَّمَاحَةِ ثَغْرَ السَّلَامْ

{{small|كورال:}}

سَنَحْمِي حِمَاكِ وَنَحْنُ فِدَاكِ

وَنَكْسُو رُبَاكِ بِلَوْنِ الْأَمَلْ

بُدُورُ سَمَائِكِ لَمْ تُحْجَبِ

وَشَمْسُ جَبِينِكِ لَمْ تَغْرُبِ

رَضَعْنَا لِبَانَ النَّدَى وَالْإِبَا

سَجَايَا حَمَلْنَ جَنًى طَيِّبَا

سَقَيْنَا عَدُوَّكِ صَابًا وَمُرًّا

قَفَوْنَا الرَّسُولَ بِنَهْجٍ سَمَا

|I

The country of the honourable, generous fathers

And the fortress of the Book that cannot be violated.

O Mauritania, spring of harmony

And the pillar of tolerance, the breach of peace.

{{small|Chorus:}}

We will protect your honour and we are your servants

And cover your soil with the colour of hope.

And at your call, we will answer ‘yes’.

II

The constellations of your skies have not been veiled

and the sun of your forehead has not set.

The glorious Arabs have raised you up.

For Africa, the freshest source

{{small|Chorus}}

III

We suckled the milk of praise and pride

Of our nature, which bores a good harvest

and fertile pasture, even if it was barren.

We rose to Heaven, and we were pleased.

{{small|Chorus}}

IV

We have made your enemy drink a bitter downpour,

not allowing him to obtain shelter nor stability.

We resist him wherever he goes and wherever he comes,

chanting: "Surely, with hardship comes ease"{{Quran ref|chapter=94|verse=5}}

{{small|Chorus}}

(V, only sung on 57th independence day)

We followed the prophet along the path of the heavens

to the tree of glory above the sky

occupying the Pleiades as our stairway

drawing there our boundary.

{{small|Chorus}}

VI

We took you as a vow and carried you as a promise

and we happily give you up to the future generations

{{small|Final chorus:}}

We will protect your honour and we are your servants

And cover your soil with the colour of hope.

We will protect your honour and we are your servants

And at your call, we will answer ‘yes’!
