The music was written and sung by Abdullahi Qarshe.[1][2] It was adopted on 1 August 2012 with the passage of the Somali national constitution,[3] in which it is enshrined.
Even though "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" is often used as a de facto national anthem, the official national anthem for Somalia is "Qoloba Calankeed".

English lyrics
- Any nation’s flag, bears its own color
- The sky (above us), does ours look like
- Defects it has none; love it with candor
- Oh you White Star, at your service we are
- Superior you are, in any part of our land
- Be famous oh Star, like the sun (of the far)
- On the day you arose, our hearts you have
- Purified with pureness, (Oh you our flag)
- Lord may not dim you, pray we in this night
- The detached part of, our forces of five
- I beseech from God, their return you cause
- This fate that wrote, for us to meet now
