Mawtini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mawtini" (My Homeland) (Arabic: موطني) is a popular poem written by famous Palestinian poet Ibrahim Touqan (Arabic: إبراهيم طوقان) around 1934 in Palestine and became the de facto national anthem of Palestine and Iraq. The original music was composed by Muhammad Fuliefil (Arabic: محمد فليفل). During the years it became very popular through the Arab world.

Recently it was re-adopted as the national anthem of Iraq replacing the old anthem Ardh Alforatain (1979-2003) associated with Saddam's Baath regime.
