Bahrain is small in the wide blue sea, Yet holds a world for you and me.
Not vast in land, not tall in height, But shining softly in desert light.
Ancient roads and stories old, Whispered in the winds of gold.
A land where history gently stays, In modern streets and busy days.
People come from many lands, Different hearts, different hands.
Yet here they live as one, not apart, With open doors and a caring heart.
No walls of hate, no lines of fear, Just voices that bring people near.
Respect is found in every place, A quiet kindness, gentle grace.
Faith and hope in every home, Like guiding stars wherever they roam.
In prayers and dreams both near and far, They know just who they truly are.
Bahrain, my island, small but bright, A peaceful flame in endless night.
Not in its size, but in its soul, It stands as one, it feels whole.
