Jordan my home country
Jordan my precious country, oasis of serenity
Your hills and meadows are planted with olive trees, a symbol of peace
You are the moon among the planets,
the poets have written the most beautiful songs
The men are strong willed and proud just like your mountains
Your buildings and sites testify about your history and the many civilizations that lived there
Jerash, Ajloun, Keral and Petra, the rose red City
The Dead Sea and the Aqaba coast, its wonderful fish, sea shells and corals
Let us all cry out loud, God bless Jordan and long live our king Abdullah the second
Original Poem by Nahla Al-Jittan, 11 years old
