Words by DUN KARM PSAILA (1871-1961)

Lil din l-Art Éelwa, l'omm li tatna isimha,
Hares, Mulej, Kifdefjem Int harist:
Ftakar li lilha bloÉla dawl libbist!

AgÉti, kbir Alla, iddeÉen lil min jaÉkimha,
Rodd ilÉniena lissid, saÉÉa 'lÉaddiem:
Seddaq ilgÉaqda fil-Maltin u ssleim!

TRANSLATION

Guard her, O Lord, as ever Thou hast guarded,
This Motherland so dear whose name we bear!
Keep her in mind whom Thou hast made so fair!

May he who rules for wisdom be regarded,
In master mercy, strength in man increase!
Confirm us all in unity and peace!
