وطني الكويت سلمت للمجد
وعلى جبينك طالع السعد

طلعت كواكب جنة الخلد

English translation

Kuwait, my country, may you be safe and glorious!
May you always enjoy good fortune!
You are the cradle of my ancestors,
Who put down its memory.
With everlasting symmetry, showing all eternity,
Those Arabs were heavenly,
Kuwait, my country,
May you be safe and glorious!
May you always enjoy good fortune.
Blessed be my Country a homeland for harmony,
Warded by true sentry giving their soils aptly,
Building high its history, Kuwait,
My country, we're for you my Country,
Led by faith and loyalty,
With its Amir equally,
Fencing us all fairly, with warm love and verity,
Kuwait, my country,
May you be safe and glorious.
May you always enjoy good fortune![3]

Notes
    gollark: They're mostly constrained by what Broadcom releases.
    gollark: It's on the SoC, not a separate component.
    gollark: But as a repurposed TV box chip the Pi's SoC doesn't have that and so anything doing encryption is very slow.
    gollark: Funnily enough, most ARM SoCs have dedicated accelerator instructions for crypto.
    gollark: As planned.
