Mawtini (L. Zanbaka Song)
"Mawtini" ( ar, موطني, lit=My Homeland) was the national anthem of Iraq from 1958 to 1965, and then again from 2003 to 2004. It is solely an instrumental composition and thus has no lyrics. History "Mawtini" was composed by Lewis Zanbaka and was originally adopted as Iraq's national anthem in 1958. It is a short instrumental composition, having no lyrics. "Mawtini" was used as the national anthem of Iraq until 1965; it was readopted in 2003 for a short time after the fall of Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime. In late 2004, "Mawtini" was replaced in its capacity as the Iraqi national anthem with a new national anthem, coincidentally also called "Mawtini", of no relation.

Walla Zaman Ya Selahy
"Walla Zaman Ya Selahy" () was the national anthem of the United Arab Republic (UAR), a federation of Egypt and Syria, from 1960. Though the UAR disbanded in 1961, Egypt retained it as the official name of the state until 1971, and used its national anthem until 1979. History Prior to being adopted as the UAR's national anthem, it was used as a nationalist song performed by Umm Kulthum during the Suez Crisis in 1956, known in Egypt and the Arab world as the Tripartite Aggression, when Egypt was invaded by the United Kingdom, France, and Israel. Due to its strongly nationalist lyrics evoking national resistance, the song was played frequently on Egyptian radio during the war, sometimes as often as every 10 minutes. The popularity of the song led to it being adopted as the national anthem of the UAR two years after the establishment of the union. It replaced the former official royal anthem of Egypt " Salam Affandina"(''Salute of our lord,'' سلام افندينا, composed by ...
