"Naḥnu Jund Allāh Jund al-Waṭan" (Arabic: نحن جند الله جند الوطن; English: "We are the Soldiers of God, the Soldiers of Homeland") is the national anthem of Sudan. The words were written by the poet Ahmed Mohammed Saleh and the tune was composed by Ahmed Morjan in 1958.[1]
History[]
The current national anthem of Sudan was originally the organizational anthem of the Sudan Defence Force prior to independence. The poem "We are the Soldiers of God, the Soldiers of Homeland" was chosen among other poems that participated in a general competition about poetic works praising the strength of the Sudan Defence Force in 1955. When Sudan gained independence in 1956, the first four verses of the poem were chosen to be the national anthem.

نحن جند الله جند الوطن إن دعا داعي الفداء لم نخن ،نتحدى الموت عند المحن نشتري المجد بأغلى ثمن هذه الأرض لنا، فليعيش سوداننا علماً بين الأمم ،يا بني السودان هذا رمزكم يحمل العبء ويحمي أرضكم |
Naḥnu jundu Llāh jundu l-waṭan In daʿā dāʿī l-fidā' lam nakhun Nataḥaddā l-mawt ʿinda l-miḥan, nashtarī l-majd bi-'aghlā thaman Hadhihī l-'arḍu lanā fa-la-yaʿīsh Sūdānunā, ʿalaman baina l-'umam Yā banī s-Sudān, hādhā ramzukum yaḥmilu l-'uʿba′ wa yaḥmī arḍakum |
We are soldiers of god soldiers of the homeland, if called for redemption we will not betray We defy death upon ordeals, we buy glory at the most expensive price This land is ours long live our Sudan, an edifice among the nations O Sons of the Sudan this is your symbol, carries the burden and protecting your land |
