Anthem Lyrics English	We salute you in this national unity. We salute you, with many good wishes in the national tongue, Bowing the head in respect to the national symbol. We salute the flag that has such might; It falls into the sphere of victory, fortune and success With its green and red and white together, and therefore we salute it. 2. To those heroes who sought out honour and pride for the nation We give salute today in auspicious verses of remembrance. May the nation of the Maldivian Islanders advance under guard and protection And the name of the Maldivian Islanders become great. Thus we pledge as we salute. 3. We wish for their freedom and progress in this world And for their freedom from sorrows, and thus we salute. With full respect and heartfelt blessing towards religion and our leaders, We salute you in uprightness and truth. May the State ever have auspicious honour and respect. With good wishes for your continuing might, we salute you.
