"Naḥnu Jund Allāh Jund al-Waṭan" (Arabic: نحن جند الله جند الوطن; English: "We are the Soldiers of God, the Soldiers of Homeland") is the national anthem of Sudan. The words were written by the poet Ahmed Mohammed Saleh and the tune was composed by Ahmed Morjan in 1955.[1]

History

The current national anthem of Sudan was originally the organizational anthem of the Sudan Defence Force prior to independence. The poem "We are the Soldiers of God, the Soldiers of Homeland" was chosen among other poems that participated in a general competition about poetic works praising the strength of the Sudan Defence Force in 1955. When Sudan gained independence in 1956, the first four verses of the poem were chosen to be the national anthem.[2][3]

Lyrics

Arabic original[3][4] Transliteration IPA transcription[a] English translation

نحن جند الله جند الوطن
إن دعى داعي الفداء لم نخن
نتحدى الموت عند المحن
نشتري المجد بأغلى ثمن
هذه الأرض لنا فليعيش سوداننا
عالما بين الأمم
يا بني السودان هذا رمزكم
يحمل العبء ويحمي أرضكم

Naḥnu jundu Llāh jundu l-waṭan
I'n daʿā dāʿī al-fidā' lam nakhun
Nataḥaddā l-mawt ʿinda l-miḥan,
nashtarī l-majda bi-'aghlā thaman
Hadhihī l-'arḍu lanā fa-la-yaʿīsh Sūdānunā,
ʿalaman baina l-'umam
Yā banī s-Sudān, hādhā ramzukum
yaḥmilu l-ʿib'a wa yaḥmī 'arḍakum.

We are soldiers of god, soldiers of the homeland,
if called for redemption we will not betray
We defy death upon ordeals,
we buy glory at the most expensive price
This land is ours, long live our Sudan,
an edifice among the nations
O Sons of the Sudan this is your symbol,
carry the burden and protect your land.
