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