'Dubai it,' my lord — a word and a deed
And a deed before a word whenever it is spoken
For you today are swifter than light
And you, in truth, are more fragrant than jasmine
'Dubai' — a new standard of excellence
For achievement, morning and evening, you are thanked
My lord's will knows no impossible
Ambition reaching for the stars, and beyond
On record time we place our wager
And who is worthier of achievement than Dubai?
Our speed and our quality are our ambition
Without haste, and without slowness worth mentioning
To achieve progress we were created
Our progress has given expression to creativity
With 'the philosophy of Dubai it' we have made
For generations a passage toward action
