[1] "Āsh al-Malīk" is referred to by Saudi Arabians as "The National Anthem" (النشيد الوطني, an-Našīd al-Waṭanī), although it is commonly known by its incipit, "Hasten" (سارعي, Sārʿī).
The lyrics call upon the country to hasten to greatness and raise the flag, glorify God, and asks Him to grant the King of Saudi Arabia long life.
سَارْعِيْ لِلْمَجْدِ وَالْعَلْيَاء، مَجِّدِيْ لِخَالِقِ الْسَّمَاء وَارْفَعِي الْخَفَّاقَ أَخْضَرْ[b] يَحْمِلُ الْنُّورَ الْمُسَطَّرْ، رَدِّدِيْ: اللهُ أَكْبَرْ[c] يَا مَوْطِنِي ،مَوْطِنِي قَدْ عِشْتَ فَخْرَ الْمُسْلِمِيْن عَاشَ الْمَلِكْ لِلْعَلَمْ وَالْوَطَنْ Sārʿī Li-l-majdi wa-l-ʿalyāʾ, Majjidī li-xāliqi s-samāʾ Wa-rfaʿī l-xaffāqa ʾaxḍar Yaḥmilu n-nūra l-musaṭṭar, Raddidī: Allāhu ʾakbar Yā mawṭinī Mawṭinī, Qad ʿišta faxra l-muslimīn ʿĀša l-malik Li-l-ʿalam Wa-l-waṭan [saː.rɪ.ʕiː] [lɪ‿l.mad͡ʒ.di wa‿l.ʕal.jaːʔ |] [mad.d͡ʒi.diː li xaː.lɪ.qɪ‿sːa.maːʔ ‖] [war.fa.ʕɪ‿l.xaf.faː.qa ʔax.dˤar] [jaħ.mɪ.lʊ‿nːuː.ra‿l.mʊ.satˤːar |] [radːɪ.diː ʔaɫːaː.hu ʔak.bar ‖] [jaː maw.tˤɪ.niː ‖] [maw.tˤɪ.niː |] [qad ʕɪʃ.ta fax.ra‿l.mʊs.lɪ.miːn ‖] [ʕaː.ʃa‿l.ma.lɪk] [lɪ‿l.ʕa.lam] [wa‿l.wa.tˤan ‖] Hasten To glory and supremacy, Glory in the Creator of the heavens!
And raise the green flag Carrying the written light reflecting guidance, Repeat: God is the greatest!
Son of homeland We are the eternity of time They asked the old, the years They chant, Saudi Arabia's King To the great majesty of the wise leader of Arabia Our souls are ransom, our motto is guidance, peace is in the dark, for the crown of the homeland A planet in the sky has its throne from Aba His crown is a jewel of the faithful, his glory is a torch of light Long live the king, long live the homeland Our proud youth lead the pioneer of jihad The Saudis of the Father, and an Arab army surrounded by the Prophet, blessing the homeland Roaring fever, Sama, respond And give my name to Mina, and bear witness that we are young lions.
