Bahrainona

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bahrainona (Our Bahrain) (Arabic: نشيد وطني بحريني‎) was the national anthem of Bahrain from independence in 1971 until 2002, when the country's ruler Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah declared himself king and his country a kingdom. The words of the national anthem were changed at this time although the melody was retained.

The original words were written by Mohamed Sudqi Ayyash (born 1925). The composer of the melody is unknown.
