Arabic Lyrics
كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
ملء عين الزّمن سيفنا والقلم
سهلنا والجبل منبت للرجال
قولنا والعمل في سبيل الكمال
كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
كلّنا للوطن
شيخنا والفتى عند صوت الوطن
أسد غاب متى ساورتنا الفتن
شرقنا قلبه أبداً لبنان
صانه ربه لمدى الأزمان
كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
كلنا للوطن
بحره برّه درّة الشرقين
رِفدُهّ برّهُ مالئ القطبين
إسمه عزّه منذ كان الجدود
مجدُهُ أرزُهُ رمزُهُ للخلود
كلّنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
كلّنا للوطن

English Translation
All of us! For our Country, for Glory and Flag!
Our valor and our writings are the envy of the ages.
Our mountains and our valleys, they bring forth stalwart men.
And to Perfection we devote our words and labor.
All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country
Our Elders and our children, they await our Country's call,
And on the Day of Crisis they are as Lions of the Jungle.
The heart of our East is ever Lebanon,
May God preserve him until the end of time.
All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country
The Gems of the East are his land and sea.
Throughout the world his good deeds flow from pole to pole.
And his name is his glory since time began.
The cedars are his pride, his immortality's symbol.
All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country
The Lebanese National Anthem (Arabic: النشيد الوطني اللبناني ) was written by Rashid Nakhle and composed by Wadih Sabra. It was adopted on July 12, 1927, seven years after the proclamation of the state of Greater Lebanon during the French mandate.
