Jordan
"As-salam al-malaki al-urdoni" (Long Live the King!)

Words by:Abdul-Mone'm Al-Rifai'
Music by:Abdul-Qader Al-Taneer
Adopted:1946

Jordan's anthem, in use since independence in 1946, resembles other Arabian
anthems, especially those of other kingdoms and emirates that use the "Arab
fanfare" style of anthem, yet there is also a note of the stately "European
hymn" style of anthem as well.

Special thanks to:Josh Lim for providing the Arabic text lyrics.
