After the proclamation of Kuwait’s independence, the Kuwaiti national anthem was written by the poet Meshari Al-Adwani and was broadcast for the first time on February 25, 1978. The music was composed by Ibrahim Al-Soula and arranged by Ahmad Ali. The ‘Amiri Salute’ was composed by Yousuf Adees in 1951 and was used until February 1978. The ‘National Salute’ consists of the first six bars of the National Anthem.

 

Kuwait, My beloved Homeland,
May you be safe for glory.
May you always enjoy good Fortune;
You are the cradle of my ancestors,
who wrote the history of immortality.
With everlasting symmetry,
So luminous meteors called out.
Allah is Great, those are glorious Arabs
Who did emerge as stars of paradise.

Kuwait, My beloved Homeland,
May you be safe for glory,
May you always enjoy good Fortune.
Blessed be My Homeland, "Kuwait"
A Homeland to us for eternity
You'll be redeemed by those
Free born, who have
nobly Constructed the edifice of life.

Kuwait, My Beloved homeland,
May you be safe for glory,
May you always enjoy good Fortune
We guard you My Country.
With the guidelines of faith and right,
Our leader to glory is our Amir,
Being endowed by Ardent zeal and truthfulness.
Kuwait, My Country,
May you be safe for glory.
May you always enjoy good Fortune.
