The national anthem of Kuwait was written by poet Ahmad Meshari Al-Adwani with music composed by Ibrahim Al-Soula and arranged by Ahmad Ali. It was first broadcast on 25 February 1978. Prior to 1978, the "Amiri Salute" was used.

After the proclamation of Kuwait's independence, the Kuwait national anthem was written by the poet Meshari Al-Adwani and was broadcast for the first time on 25 February 1978. The music was composed by Ibrahim Al-Soula and arranged by Ahmad Ali. The Amiri Salute was composed by Yusuf Adees in 1951 and was used until February 1978.The National Salute consists of the first six bars of the National anthem. 

The anthem is played every day at the beginning of the day in most Kuwaiti schools and on TV and radio stations.

The words of Kuwait national anthem are: 

Kuwait, My Country, May you be safe and glorious!
May you always enjoy good Fortune! 
You are the cradle of my Ancestors, who put down its memory, 
With everlasting symmetry, showing all eternity, 
Those Arabs were Heavenly, Kuwait, My Country, 
May you be safe and glorious! 
May you always enjoy good Fortune. 
Blessed be My Country a homeland for harmony, 
Warded by true sentry Giving their soils aptly, 
Building high its history, Kuwait, My Country, 
We're for you My Country, 
Led by faith and loyalty, 
With its Amir equally, Fencing us all fairly, 
With warm love and verity, Kuwait, My Country, 
May you be safe and glorious, 
May you always enjoy good Fortune

  1. The choir on YouTube seem to be young, with female singers and upbeat. Other nations' anthems often sound less optimistic
