Syrian National Anthem

Syrian National Anthem :
“Homat el
Diyar” (translated Guardians of the
Homeland) is the national anthem of Syria, with
lyrics written by Khalil Mardam Bey and the music by
Mohammed Flayfel, who also composed the national anthem of
the Palestinian National Authority, as well as many other
Arab folk songs. It was adopted in 1936 and temporarily
fell from use when Syria joined the United Arab Republic
with Egypt in 1958. It was decided that the national anthem
of the UAR would be a combination of the then-Egyptian
anthem and Homat el Diyar. When Syria seceded from the
union in 1961, the anthem was completely restored.
English Translation :
Defenders of our
home,
Peace be upon you;
The proud spirits had
refused to subdue.
The lion-abode of Arabism,
A hallowed sanctuary;
The seat of the stars,
An inviolable preserve.
Our hopes and our hearts,
Are entwined with the flag,
Which unites our country…
