Ya Allah lanjutkanlah Usia
Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia
Adil berdaulat menaungi nusa
Memimpin rakyat kekal bahagia
Hidup sentosa Negara dan Sultan

O Allah, we plead and cry to Thee,
Our Sultan and King, him a long life lease,
Help him rule thy lands, disposition wise,
Gates of glory and joy he shall boldly prise,
Peace be on our land, peace be on our Sultan,
God save Brunei, our beloved abode of peace.
