"To the beat of the heart,

 to the eye and

 to the father of the Iraqis

to the creator of men and heroes

to the one who taught us all the great values"

"You, who raised our heads high,

 the heads of the Iraqis, the Arabs

 and the Muslims

 ... we present to you our souls

 ... to the father of the heroes,

 ... to my beloved and dear father,

      with all my respect and glory to you."
