LEBANESE LYRICS
Kulluna lil-watan, lil'ula lil-'alam
Mil'u ayn az-zaman, saifuna wal-qalam
Sahluna wal-jabal, manbitun lir-rijal
Qawluna wal-'amal fi sabil al-kamal
Kulluna lil-watan, lil'ula lil-'alam, Kulluna lil-watan

Shaykhuna wal-fata, 'Inda sawt al-watan
Usdu ghaben mata, sawaratna al-fitan
Sharquna qalbuhu, abadan Lubnan
Sanahu rabbuhu, li-mada al-azman
Kulluna lil-watan, lil'ula lil-'alam, Kulluna lil-watan

Bahruhu barruhu, durratu-sharqayn
Ramzuhu birruhu, mali' al-qutbayn
Ismuhu 'izzuhu, munzou kana al-judud
Majduhu arzuhu, ramzuhu lil-khulud
Kulluna lil-watan, lil'ula lil-'alam, kulluna lil-watan.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
All for the country, for the glory, for the flag
From the beginning of centuries, our pencil and sword
Our field and mountains are making the men
Our word and work on the way of perfection
All for the country, for the glory, for the flag

Young and old at the voice of the country
Lions of forest at the time of violation
Our east is its heart forever Lebanon
Its God protects it all over the time
All for the country, for the glory, for the flag

Its sea, its land, are the pearl of the two orients
Its symbol, its charity, fill up the two poles
Its name is its triumph since the time of our grandfathers
Its glory is its cedars, its symbol is for the end of epochs
All for the country, for the glory, for the flag
