Selamat Tuhan kurniakan,
Selamat Pulau Pinang,
Negeriku yang mulia,
Kutaat dan setia,
Aman dan bahagia.
Majulah, jayalah,
Negeriku yang ku-cinta,
Bersatu dan bersama,
Untuk negeri kita.

سلامت توهن کورنياکن⹁

کوطاعة دان ستيا⹁
امان دان بهاݢيا.
ماجوله⹁ جايله⹁
نݢريکو يڠ کوچينتا⹁
برساتو دان برسام⹁
اونتوق نݢري کيت.

May God safety grant,
To Penang, our noble land,
We swear solemn to thee,
Ever faithful to be,
In peace and prosperity.
Progress ever sow,
To love this land is our fate,
All together come now,
For our beloved state.
