History

"as-Salâm as-Solṭâni" was written by the poet Rashid bin Uzayyiz Al Khusaidi. The music for it was composed at the request of Muscat's government by James Frederick Mills, a Briton, in December 1932.[4][5]

In 1970, a modified version was written by the poet Ħafiẓ ben-Sâlem as-Sayl al-Gasâni, the adviser of the former Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said. The melody was composed by the Egyptian musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab.[6]

Lyrics
Arabic Roman Arabic Phonemic transcription (IPA) English translation

يا ربنا احفظ لنا جلالة السلطان
والشعب في الأوطان
بالعز و الأمان
وليدم مؤيدا 𝄆
عاهلا ممجدا
𝄇 بالنفوس يفتدى

يا عمان نحن من عهد النبي
أوفياء من كرام العربي
فارتقي هام السماء
واملئي الكون الضياء
واسعدي وانعمي بالرخاء

So ascend to the apex of the heavens
