(Verse 1)
Bismillah
Gilit Alla yom eed miladi
Followed by the cry
"Eeshi bilady."
Maybe I have a great bias
But dreams can come true
Like that of Sheik Zayed's
From tribes to the streets we roamin'
Desert-dwelling Bedouins
Who saw the omens
Hamdullilah
Hoping for the Emirat
To see beyond the sky's limits
In these 'Emaraat
Bismillah
And when I say this, man
Please forgive us for the way we stand;
I pray we can
Hamdulillah
For The first day this land
Became it's planned visions
That are paved in sand
Plea-robbed these labor camps
And forever can we hold
Our sacred stance
Hamdulillah
We put the truth to the test
Prove that we blessed
Please take this hand!
(Chorus)
Hamdulillah ahbabeena al'li dalooona
Far'u kalaam ila ali ma ambismaoona
Lee ajlil insaanee'a
(Verse 2)
To the friendships true
No pretentious jewel
Can amend this rule
Hamdulillah
They were never-endin', too
I still spend time
Close to friends in you
Bismillah
Every city has a dark side
Through tints of a window
It must be the Maghfira
Hamdulillah
Palaver, it seems
Even flight attendants
And taxi drivers can dream
Dubai, Dar Al-Hey
Means "City of Life"
If you're livin' it right
Like My Flavor of concrete
Palm trees, skyscrapers
Swinging to Islam-Speed
For children goin' rotten
That realize Khuye
More dirhams more problems
Hamdullilah
Young and playful
Don't stray too far
Like Khalfan and Faisal
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Brother whatever you need, I'm there, what is it?
Do you share the hezin?
Or just the kheyr and reziq?
Bismallah
And we stare at prisons
And the buldings rise
When these children die
Wa ana shayif ashabi
Livin' the fast life
And crashing Ferraris
I heard the saddest of stories
Please tell God
That I'm sorry
