Zamfara State, Forever Adored

Here we stand, with hope in our hearts
A new Governor has emerged, and he's ready to start
Dauda Lawan Dare, we put our trust in you
To lead us through troubled times, and make our dreams come true

We sing your name, with joy and pride
Dauda Lawan Dare, you are our guide
With your leadership, we will soar
Zamfara State, forever more

You faced the odds and emerged victorious
Against all the elites, who thought they were glorious
You stood firm and never lost hope
Now you have our mandate, and the power to cope

We sing your name, with joy and pride
Dauda Lawan Dare, you are our guide
With your leadership, we will soar
Zamfara State, forever more.

Banditry and cattle rustling, must end
Agriculture, education and employment, they must ascend
Critical infrastructure, it must be built
But security, it must never wilt

We sing your name, with joy and pride
Dauda Lawan Dare, you are our guide
With your leadership, we will soar
Zamfara State, forever more

Dauda Lawan Dare, may your reign be long
May your vision be clear, and your will be strong
May prosperity and peace, be our reward
And Zamfara State, be forever adored 

We sing your name, with joy and pride
Dauda Lawan Dare, you are our guide
With your leadership, we will soar

Zamfara State, forever more.
