“Homat el Diyar” (Arabic: حُمَاةَ الدِّيَار‎, transliteration: Ḥomāt ad-Diyār, translated Guardians of the Homeland) is the national anthem of Syria, with lyrics written by Khalil Mardam Bey and the music by Mohammed Flayfel, who also composed the national anthem of the Palestinian National Authority, as well as many other Arab folk songs. It was adopted in 1936 and temporarily fell from use when Syria joined the United Arab Republic with Egypt in 1958. It was decided that the national anthem of the UAR would be a combination of the then-Egyptian anthem and Homat el Diyar. When Syria seceded from the union in 1961, the anthem was completely restored.

حـماةَ الـديارِ عليكمْ سـلامْ
أبَتْ أنْ تـذِلَّ النفـوسُ الكرامْ
عـرينُ العروبةِ بيتٌ حَـرام
وعرشُ الشّموسِ حِمَىً لا يُضَامْ
ربوعُ الشّـآمِ بـروجُ العَـلا
تُحاكي السّـماءَ بعـالي السَّـنا
فأرضٌ زهتْ بالشّموسِ الوِضَا
سَـماءٌ لَعَمـرُكَ أو كالسَّـما

رفيـفُ الأماني وخَفـقُ الفؤادْ
عـلى عَـلَمٍ ضَمَّ شَـمْلَ البلادْ
أما فيهِ منْ كُـلِّ عـينٍ سَـوادْ
ومِـن دمِ كـلِّ شَـهيدٍ مِـدادْ؟
نفـوسٌ أبـاةٌ ومـاضٍ مجيـدْ
وروحُ الأضاحي رقيبٌ عَـتيدْ
فمِـنّا الوليـدُ و مِـنّا الرّشـيدْ
فلـمْ لا نَسُـودُ ولِمْ لا نشـيد؟

Humat al diari aleikum salam
Abat an tazila al nufusu al kiram
Arinu al urubati beyton haram
Wa Aarshu al shumusi himan la yudam
Robughu al shami buruju al Aala
Tohaki al suma'a bia'ali alsana (x2)
Fa ardon zahat bilshumusi al widaa'a
Samaon limaroka aw kal sama
Rafifu alamani wakhafku alfuad
Aala aalamen damma shamla al bilad
Ama fihi min kuli ainen sawad
Wa min dami kuli shahiden midad
Noufuson ubaton wa madin magid
Wa rouhu al adahi rakibon atid (x2)
Fa minna al walidu wa minna al rashid
Fa lem la nasudu wa lem la nasheed

Defenders of our home,
Peace be upon you;
Our proud spirits shall
Never be subdued.
The abode of Arabism,
A hallowed sanctuary;
The seat of the stars,
An inviolable preserve.
Our hopes and our hearts,
Are entwined with the flag,
Which unites our country.
