"The Royal Anthem of Jordan" (Arabic: السلام الملكي الأردني|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]
