"Qolobaa Calankeed" (Arabic: علم أي امة; English: "Every nation has its own flag") is the national anthem of Somalia. Written and composed by Abdullahi Qarshe, it was adopted on 1 August 2012 with the passage of the Somali national constitution, in which it is enshrined. It replaced "Soomaaliyeey toosoo", which had been in use since 2000. "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" is often still used as a de facto national anthem, though the official national anthem for Somalia is "Qoloba Calankeed".

Lyrics in Somali:
Qolobaa calankeedu, waa ceynoo,
Innaga keenu waa, cirkoo kale e,
Oon caadna lahayn, ee caashaqaye.
Xidigyey cadi waad na ciidamisee
Carrada kaligaa adow curadee
Cadceedda sideeda caan noqo
Qolobaa calankeedu, waa ceynoo,
Innaga keenu waa, cirkoo kale e,
Oon caadna lahayn, ee caashaqaye.
Cishadad dhalataad calooshayadii
Sidii culaygii cidaad marisee
Allow ha ku celin cawoy dhaha
Qolobaa calankeedu, waa ceynoo,
Innaga keenu waa, cirkoo kale e,
Oon caadna lahayn, ee caashaqaye.

English Translation:
Every nation has its own flag.
Ours is like the sky without any signs of clouds
All of which we have come to love.
Oh you White Star, at your service we are
Superior you are, in any part of our land
Be famous oh Star, like the sun
Every nation has its own flag.
Ours is like the sky without any signs of clouds
All of which we have come to love.
On the day you arose, our hearts you have
Purified with pureness
O Allah, do not dim the flag, pray we in this night
Every nation has its own flag.
Ours is like the sky without any signs of clouds
All of which we have come to love.
