Until 1948, a melody without lyrics called the Salaamathi Etherekoilu Sultan . Soon after, it was decided that the Salaamathi Mohamed Jameel Didi .[1] [2]
Jameel Didi wrote the words for the new Salaamathi Urdu poetry during the time, closely imitating its style and also furnishing his work with words borrowed from Arabic . Afterwards, Jameel Didi began looking for a tune to accompany his poem when he heard the noon chime ("Auld Lang Syne ") of his uncle's clock. The tune was adopted to the lyrics, and the new Salaamathi [1] [2]
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Maldivians became more aware of the importance of a national anthem, and in 1972, shortly before the Maldives was visited by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom , the government hastily commissioned Sri Lankan maestro W. D. Amaradeva for a new melody for the anthem.[1] [2] [3] [2] [update]
