The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula.
The National Anthem of the United Arab Emirates, (Arabic: النشيد الوطني الاماراتي), also popularly known as Ishy Bilady (عيشي بلادي; 'īšiy bilādī; literally, Long Live my Nation), was officially accepted as the United Arab Emirates' national anthem after the formation of the country in 1971.
Lyrics:
عيشي بلادي عاش اتحاد إماراتنا
عشت لشعب دينه الإسلام هديه القرآن
حصنتك بسم الله يا وطن
بلادي بلادي بلادي بلادي
حماك الإله من شرور الزمان
أقسمنا أن نبني نعمل
نعمل نخلص نعمل نخلص
مهما عشنا نخلص نخلص
دام الأمان وعاش العلم يا إماراتنا
رمزالعروبة كلنا نفديكِ
بالدما نرويكِ
نفديك بالأرواح يا وطن
Transliteration:
Ishhi Biladi Asha tihaadu imaaratinah
Ishti Lishabin
Dinu hul islamu Hadhyu Ul Qura`anu
Hassanthuk Bismillah Ya Watan

Hamakil Ila Hushuroorazaman
Aqsamna an nabani anaamal

Mahima Ashna Nukhlis nukhlis
daamal amaanu wa aashal alam ya imaaratinah
Ramzul Arooba Kullu na nafdeeqi
Biddi manarweeqi
Nafdeeqa Bil arwah ya Watan.
Translation:
Live, my land; may the union of our emirates live.
May you live for a people
Whose religion is Islam, and
whose guide is the Qur'an.
I made you stronger in God's name, oh homeland
My land, my land, my land, my land.
May God protect you from the evils of time.
We have vowed to build, to work.
To work, to be loyal, to work, to be loyal.
However long we may live, to be loyal, to be loyal.
May safety endure, and the flag live, O Emirates,
The symbol of Arabism.
We would all make sacrifices for you, and with our blood saturate you.
We would give up our souls for you, O homeland.
