Qâbus ben-Saʿyed ʾâl-Saʿyed (1940–2020), the Sultan of Oman, whom the song was originally dedicated to

"as-Salâm as-Solṭâni" (Arabic: السلام السلطاني, meaning 'Salute to The Sultan') is the national anthem of the Sultanate of Oman. It is an ode originally dedicated to Qaboos bin Said (1940–2020), the former Sultan of Oman.[1][2][3]

History

"as-Salâm as-Solṭâni" was written by poet Rashid bin Uzayyiz Al Khusaidi. The music for it was composed at the request of Muscat's government by James Frederick Mills, a Briton, in December 1932.[4][5]

In 1970, a modified version was written by the poet Ħafiẓ ben-Sâlem as-Sayl al-Gasâni, the adviser of the former Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said. The melody was composed by Egyptian musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab.[6]

يا ربنا احفظ لنا جلالة السلطان
والشعب في الأوطان
بالعز و الأمان
𝄇 وليدم مؤيدا
عاهلا ممجدا
بالنفوس يفتدى 𝄆

يا عمان نحن من عهد النبي
أوفياء من كرام العربي
فارتقي هام السماء
واملئي الكونَ ضياء
واسعدي وانعمي بالرخاء

So ascend to the apex of the heavens
illuminate the cosmos
rejoice and relish in prosperity
