"The Royal Anthem of Jordan" (Arabic: السلام الملكي الأردني, romanized: as-Salām al-Malakī al-ʾUrdunī) is the national anthem of Jordan, adopted in 1946. The lyrics were written by ʿAbdel Munʿim al-Rifāʿī, and the music was composed by ʿAbdul al-Qādir al-Tanīr. The first version of the lyrics was very short, as it only contained the first stanza of the current version.^[1]^[2] Since then, the anthem has been expanded. The abridged version of the anthem is usually used, while the full version is reserved for special occasions.^[3]

The honour of dynasty, Talked about in the depths of books! III All the youthful men, Are your armed armies His determination never dies out! Getting from your meaning a symbol of well-being!^[b] Chorus IV May you stay the light and the guide, A master in being away of all sins and wrong-doing, Living your life happily and well-respected! Under your flag rests the glory of Arabs. Chorus
