The national anthem of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: النشيد الوطني السعودي, romanized: an-Našīd al-Waṭanī as-Suʿūdī, lit. 'Chant of the Saudi Nation'), which can be known by its incipit "Hasten!" (Arabic: سارعي, romanized: Sâregħi), was first adopted in 1950. A few years before, this song was a present given by the Fâruq of Egypt to King Abdulaziz when he visited Egypt.[1] It was composed by Tarik Abdul Hakim, which was then rearranged by Serâġ Omar. Later in 1984, ‘Ebrâhim Xafâġi wrote the lyrics to the song; in the same year, the anthem was officially readopted with the lyrics.[2][3][4]

Hurry and Rise
To the highest glory
Glorify the Creator of the Sky
And raise the green flag
Which carry the guidance light
Repeat: Allahu Akbar

Live as the pride of all Muslims!
Long live the king
For the flag
And homeland
