Poetry by Fatima Nasser
From the visions of the leaders we have built factories
That forge glory with determination and resolve
Our industry resounds throughout the universe
Emirati — a pride in every valley
We race against time and the dream becomes reality
We raise the banner of pioneering glory
May God protect you from all ambitions
May God keep you, a pearl, O my homeland
We inscribe with deeds and with facts
Histories that confound the obstinate
A path in the course of glory, radiant
Bearing noble virtues from town and wilderness
From every watchtower we have vistas
We attain precedence in achieving our aspirations
A covenant of loyalty and truth, widely proclaimed
We answer the call on the day death appears
My homeland's heights, where creativity is spread wide
Heights of a dream built by the most precious of hands
History submits to us through our actions
We hold first place… in every arena
