In 1958, the Ministry of Education organized a competition and selected the submissions of the poet Jalaleddine Naccache (1910–1989) and the composer Salah El Mahdi (1925-2014). Nation formally adopted the anthem on 20 March Tunisia's Independence Day, that year.

(Arabic Lyrics / كلمات)
ألا خلّدي يا دمانا الغوالي
جهاد الوطن
لتحرير خضرائنا لا نبالي
بأقسى المحن
جهاد تحلّى بنصر مبين
على الغاصبين على الظالمين
طغاة الزمن
نخوض اللهيب بروح الحبيب
زعيم الوطن

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Chorus:
Immortal and precious the blood we have shed for our dear fatherland.
In order to free our green land any hardship we gladly will stand.
The fight is made sweet by a victory sure,
Removing the yoke we've had to endure.
The fire we confront as faithful we keep
The spirit of our great leader Habib.
