History and use

The anthem was adopted on 7 December 1996[3] upon the accession of Shaykh Ḥamad bin Khalīfa al-Thānī to the throne.[4] It was first used at a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting held in Qatar in December of that year.[5]

In 2015, Shaykh Mubārak bin Sayf al-Thānī presented the first written draft of the anthem to the Qatar National Museum, where it will be put on display.[6]

قسما قسما
قسما بمن رفع السماء
قسما بمن نشر الضياء
قطر ستبقي حرة تسمو بروح الاوفياء
سيروا على نهج الألى
سيروا وعلى ضياء الانبياء
قطر بقلبي سيرة عز وأمجاد الاباء
قطر الرجال الاولين
حماتنا يوم النداء
وحمائم يوم السلام
جوارح يوم الفداء
قسما قسما
قسما بمن رفع السماء
قسما بمن نشر الضياء
قطر ستبقى حرة تسمو
بروح الأوفياء

English translation
I Swear, I Swear
Swearing by the one who raised the sky [7]
Swearing by the one who spread the light
Qatar will always be free
By the spirit of the loyal
Travel the high road
Travel by the guiding light of the Prophets
In my heart, Qatar is a way that respects the achievements of our forefathers
Qatar is the land of the foremost men
Who protect us in time of distress,
Doves of peace, Warriors of sacrifice
Birds of prey they are at times of sacrifice (2x)
I Swear, I Swear
Swearing by the one who raised the sky [7]
Swearing by the one who spread the light
Qatar will always be free
By the spirit of the loyal[8]

Persian translation
من قسم می خورم ، من قسم می خورم
قسم خوردن به آن كه آسمان را برافراشت
قسم خوردن به کسی که نور را پخش می کند
قطر همیشه آزاد خواهد بود
با روحیه وفاداران
جاده بلند را طی کنید
با نور هدایت پیامبران سفر کنید
در قلب من ، قطر راهی است که به دستاوردهای نیاکان ما احترام می گذارد
قطر سرزمین انسانهای برجسته است
چه کسی در زمان پریشانی از ما محافظت می کند ،
کبوتران صلح ، رزمندگان فداکاری
پرندگان شکاری در زمان فداکاری هستند (2 برابر)
من قسم می خورم ، من قسم می خورم
قسم خوردن به آن كه آسمان را برافراشت
قسم خوردن به کسی که نور را پخش می کند
قطر همیشه آزاد خواهد بود
