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: That does NOT allow data transmission.
    gollark: No. If you have a pair of entangled particles, and observe one, you just know the other must be in the other state.
    gollark: QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT CANNOT ALLOW DATA TRANSMISSION FASTER THAN LIGHT!
    gollark: WRONG!
    gollark: It seems to mostly just be excessive and apiaristic hype.
