Translation:

Swearing by, swearing by
Swearing by the One who raised the sky,
Swearing by the One who spread the light,
Qatar will always be free,
Elevated by the spirit of the loyal.

Walk on the path of the ancestors,
Walk under the guiding light of the Prophets.
Qatar in my heart is an epic
Of dignity and the glories of the forefathers.

Qatar is the land of the foremost men,
Our protectors on the day of calling,
Doves on the days of peace,
Birds of prey on the days of sacrifice.

• The "As-Salam al-Amiri" (Peace to the Amir) creates a highly dignified, yet fiercely proud atmosphere on matchdays, driven heavily by local supporters and the unique fan culture of the region. In the stadium, fans showcase an intense visual display by holding up unrolled burgundy and white national flags or trailing long team scarves overhead. The absolute peak of stadium volume crashes through the stands during the very first lines of the anthem on the powerful, repeating declaration "Qasaman, Qasaman" (I swear, I swear), where tens of thousands of voices collectively accent each vow with deep, rhythmic emphasis. A captivating piece of history behind this anthem is its sudden adoption on December 7, 1996, following the accession of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. It was penned by the prominent Qatari diplomat and poet Sheikh Mubarak bin Saif Al Thani, with a grand, driving orchestral score composed by Abdulaziz Nasser Al-Ubaydan, making it one of the most musically modern and recognizable anthems in the Gulf.
