Lanjutkan usia Al-Sultan kami,
Sultan Kelantan raja ikrami,
Aman sentosa Tuhan sirami,
Kekal memerintah kami.

Kasih dan taat setia disembahkan,
Keriangan diucapkan,
Segala kebesaran Allah cucurkan,
Bertambah kemuliaan.

لنجوتکن اوسيا السلطان کامي⹁
سلطان کلنتن راج اکرامي⹁
امان سنتوسا توهن سيرمي⹁
ککل ممرينته کامي.


کاسيه دان طاعة ستيا دسمبهکن⹁
کرياڠن دأوچاڤکن⹁
سݢالا کبسرن الله چوچورکن⹁
برتامبه کمولياءن.

Prolonged be the life of our Sultan,
The divine Sultan of Kelantan,
In peace with God's blessing,
Forever rule over us.

Love and loyalty we offer,
A wish of happiness we utter,
May God bless him with greatness,
And his glory increase.
