Bumi ini Bumi Allah
Seluruh isinya milik Allah
Kamipun diciptakan oleh Allah
Untuk memalumkan bumi Ciptaannya

Di Negeri ku kami Miskin
Hidup terseksa tanpa Perlindungan
Di atas laut hidup kami terkatung-katung
Menanti huluran tangan Sang RaJa Dermawan
Tangisan anak kecil Menyayat hati
Menahan lapar dan titisan air
Sejuk panas badan tak tenaga lagi
Kerana Semua kita biasa lalui
Wahai Sang Dermawan yang bergelumang Harta
Wahai Sang Raja yang hidup Merdeka
Berikan kami perlindungan dan tempat berteduh
Di negeri Allah yang kaya raya ini
