National Anthem Of Jordan
"The Royal Anthem of Jordan" ( ar, السلام الملكي الأردني, as-Salām al-Malakī al-ʾUrdunī) is the national anthem of Jordan, adopted in 1946. The lyrics were written by Abdelmunim Rifai, 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. 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.
