Sabah Tanah Airku (Jawi: سابه تانه ايركو, pronounced [sabah tanah airku]; "Sabah, My Homeland") is the official state anthem of Sabah, Malaysia that was written by HB Hermann, a Singaporean resident who submitted it to a competition made for selecting the state anthem. It won the competition on 16 May 1963 and was aired for the first time on July 18 of that year. It became the state anthem upon Sabah's accession to the Federation of Malaysia on 16 September that same year.[1]

Sabah, tanah airku
Negeri kita yang tercinta
Pemuda-pemudi
Semua marilah
Bangunlah bersatu semua
Marilah bersama serta maju jaya
Merdeka sepanjang masa
Bersatu segala bangsa sentosa
Sabah negeri merdeka.

سابه تانه ايرکو
نݢري کيت يڠ ترچينتا
ڤمودا-ڤمود سموا ماريله
باڠونله برساتو سموا
ماريله برسام سرتا ماجو جاي
مرديک سڤنجڠ ماس
برساتو سݢالا بڠسا سنتوسا
سابه نݢري مرديک‎

[sabah tanah airku]

Sabah, my homeland
Our beloved state
Youngsters
Hereby make it known
Arise all together
Come together to be successful
Liberty for all time
From all the nations let one arise
Sabah, the independent state
