اليوبيل الذهبي لذكرى الاستقلال
١٩٤٦-١٩٩٦
أبدأ بحَمد الله عَلى نَعمَائه ... بمَا أيدنَا...
وَذلك بإعْلان بلَادنا الأردنيَّة
،دَولة مُستَقلة استقلَالاً تامّاً
ِنَعتَزّ بأن تَظلَ الوَفيَة لميثَاق
الوَحدَةِ القَوميًّةِ وللمثُل العَرَبيَّة (Translation: Golden Jubilee of Independence 1946-1996 `I begin by praising Allah (God) for his blessings... of supporting us... and that`s by the declaration of our Jordanian country a fully independent state we are proud to remain loyal to the Charter of Nationalism Unity and Arabic Ideals`)
