Suriya, Ya Dhat al-Majdi (Arabic: سورية يا ذات المجد‎, lit. 'O Syria, Who Owns the Glory'), was the national anthem of the Arab Kingdom of Syria. The lyrics were written by poet Mukhtar al-Tanir, and the music was composed by Lebanese Brothers Ahmed and Mohammed Flayfel, whose also known for having composed the national anthem of Iraq.

History

The anthem was relinquished as the anthem of Syria in 1938 when another anthem composed by Mohammed Flayfel, Humat ad-Diyar, won the national anthem competition of the First Syrian Republic. The state the anthem was written for, the Arab Kingdom of Syria, was a short-lived state that spanned much of the Levant, mainly of what is now Jordan and Syria, and existed de jure from 5 October 1918 to 24 July 1920, and de facto from 8 March 1920 to 24 July 1920 until the conquering of Syria by the French. Other usage of the anthem was in the official educational curriculum of Jordan until the 1960s, where it was commonly memorized and sang by students.
