“Homat el Diyar” (Arabic: حُمَاةَ الدِّيَار, transliteration: Ḥomāt ad-Diyār, translated Guardians of the Homeland) is the national anthem of Syria, with lyrics written by Khalil Mardam Bey and the music by Mohammed Flayfel, who also composed the national anthem of the Palestinian National Authority, as well as many other Arab folk songs. It was adopted in 1936 and temporarily fell from use when Syria joined the United Arab Republic with Egypt in 1958. It was decided that the national anthem of the UAR would be a combination of the then-Egyptian anthem and Homat el Diyar. When Syria seceded from the union in 1961, the anthem was completely restored.
