A Day of Stars: Celebrating Somaliland
26 June, maalin sharaf leh,
Somaliland qalbiyaday ku nooshahay,
Calankaagii kor buu u babanayaa,
Farxad iyo raynrayn baa muuqata.
Maalintani waa xusuus qaali ah,
Taariikhdeedu waa mid ifaysa,
Dhalinyaro iyo waayeel wada faraxsan,
Dalkoodana sharaf ku xusaya.
26 June, maalin sharaf leh,
Somaliland qalbiyaday ku nooshahay,
Calankaagii kor buu u babanayaa,
Farxad iyo raynrayn baa muuqata.
Nabad iyo horumar baan hiigsanaynaa,
Midnimo iyo wadajir baan dhisanaynaa,
Dhulkeenna quruxda badan waan jecelnahay,
Magaciisana meel sare gaadhsiinaynaa.
Somaliland ha noolaato weligeed,
Guul iyo gobannimo ha gaadho,
26 June waa maalinteennii,
Aan si wadajir ah u xusno.
Somaliland, Somaliland,
Qalbigayagaad ku nooshahay,
Calankaagu kor ha babado,
Guul iyo sharaf baad mudan tahay
