Qaboos bin Said (1940–2020), the Sultan of Oman, whom the song was originally dedicated to

"Salute to the Sultan" (Template:Langx)[1] also known as "Peace to the Sultan" (Template:Langx) is the national anthem of the Sultanate of Oman. It is an ode originally dedicated to Qaboos bin Said, who was Sultan of Oman from 1970 to 2020.[2][3][4]

History

The anthem's lyrics were written by poet Rashid bin Uzayyiz al-Khusaidi. The music for it was composed at the request of the government of Muscat and Oman by James Frederick Mills, a Briton, in December 1932.[5][6] The lyrics to this anthem contained an ode to then-Sultan Said bin Taimur.[7][8]

In 1970, a modified version was introduced, written by the poet Hafiz bin-Salim as-Sayl al-Gasani, an adviser of Qaboos bin Said, who deposed his father in a palace coup that year. The melody was composed by Egyptian musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab.[9]

On 20 February 2020, after Qaboos's death, Sultan Haitham bin Tariq issued a decree to remove his predecessor's name from the national anthem.[10]

O Almighty, save His Majesty the Sultan
and His people in their homelands
with pride and peace
𝄆 May He live long and triumphant
a glorified leader
for whom we shall lay down our lives 𝄇

O Oman, we have been from the time of the Prophet
of the most loyal and noble Arabs
So ascend to the apex of the heavens
Illuminate the cosmos
And rejoice and relish in prosperity.
