The National Anthem of Lebanon was written in Arabic by Lebanon's noted poet, Rachid Nakhlé (1873-1939.) The music is the work of Wadih Sabra (1876-1952), who was Director of the Lebanese Conservatory of Music. It was the winning entry in a contest sponsored by the Lebanese Parliament. The National Anthem was adopted officially by a Presidential decree of July 12, 1927.
