Ahannakee dhivésséh.

Kalhu meehhéh noon. Dhon meehhéh noon.
Mushi meehhéh noon.Dhivésséh.

Ahannakee dhivésséh.

Muslimméh noon. Kaafarréh noon.
Munafiqéh noon. Dhivésséh.

Aharengé naaru thakugé therey vindhu
jahanee maa singaa kandugé lonu.

Boa buri koffa génbiyas,
kandu gé andhiri gandu theré ah féhthiyas,
aharénn hithugé adeega vaanee amaankan.

Magey suvaru geygai neyvaalaakkah nujehé.
Magey rattéhinnakee bimu ga hingaa bodaa boa haru soofi éh noon.

Ahannakee dhivésséh.

Aharengé sikundi akee muraka bageechaa éh.
Dhanvaru hanguraama koh ley ohoruvaa kula gadha bimméh. 

Miyaru maskaa hiyani therey boava filaa jungayyéh.
Hibaru kalhi alhaa kalhu thelu gé therey roa koffa inna faanooz éh.

Ahannakee dhivésséh.

Ahannakee farubadha éh noon.
Hanafas saharaa évvéss noon.

Ahannakee dhivésséh.

Mathanuvaa irugé avee gé dhashuga andhaa rashakkah ufan véfaivaa gadhafadha janavaarréh.
