The national anthem of Jordan is known in Arabic as as-Salām al-Malakī al-ʾUrdunī (Arabic: السلام الملكي الأردني) meaning The Royal Anthem of Jordan. It was adopted in 1946. The lyrics were written by Abdul-Monem Rifai and the music was composed by Abdul Qader al-Taneer. The first version of the lyrics was very short as it only contained the first stanza of the current version. Since then, the anthem has been expanded.
