National Anthem: Iraq (موطني)

"Mawṭinī" (Arabic: موطني‎, lit. 'My Homeland') is the national anthem of Iraq, adopted in 2004. It is a popular poem written by the Palestinian poet ʾIbrāhīm Ṭūqān c. 1934 and composed by the Lebanese composer Muḥammid Flayfil. It served as Palestine's de facto national anthem from its inception to 1996 when it was officially replaced by "Fidā'ī". However, many Palestinians still identify with it along with "Fida'i" and consider the former a sort of unofficial second national anthem of their country.

During the late 1950s and early 1960s, after it became a republic, Iraq used a national anthem also called "Mawṭinī", composed by Lewis Zanbaka. Though it shares the same name as the current Iraqi national anthem, this version is instrumental and has no lyrics. After Iraq's Ba'athist regime was deposed in 2003, the old "Mawṭinī" formerly used as the Iraqi national anthem during the late 1950s and early 1960s was brought back and used temporarily as an interim national anthem. In 2004, "Mawṭinī", the current anthem, was adopted as the national anthem by Iraq, on the order of Coalition Provisional Authority chief Paul Bremer.
