The Lebanese National Anthem (Arabic: النشيد الوطني اللبناني, an-Našīd al-Waṭanī al-Lubnānī) was written by Rashid Nakhle and composed by Wadia Sabra. It was adopted on 12 July 1927, seven years after the proclamation of the state of Greater Lebanon during the French mandate.
The Lebanese national anthem was chosen following an open nationwide competition. The result of the contest was published in newspapers.
The music of the national anthem is influenced by Beirut's exposure to western culture by the end of the 19th century. It was composed by French trained artist Wadia Sabra in 1925.
Recorded by the United States Navy Band - National Anthem of Lebanon
