I'm currently working in the Middle East so I thought I'd look up national anthems in the region and here's the one for Bahrain:

Also the Saudi Arabian national anthem:

I looked up the one for the UAE but it says something about supplying the land with their blood, and the one for Qatar has a line about people being ready to be warriors in times of war

how about this Middle Eastern country's anthem

Bring us the king!
Bring us the rope!
Bind his hands, bind his feet!
Throw his body into the sea
And our people shall be free.

Basenji, Basenji, greatest of countries,
You're our only love,
And we pledge our lives to thee.
Basenji, Basenji, greatest of countries,
Victory for us,
Death to our enemies.

Raise the shovel high,
I will push the cart.
We'll build glory forever,
Inspired by stalwart hearts!

Basenji, Basenji, greatest of countries,
You're our only love,
And we pledge our lives,
And we pledge our lives,
And we pledge our lives to thee.
