My Homeland
"Mawṭinī" ("My Homeland") is an Arabic patriotic poem by the Palestinian poet Ibrahim Tuqan, written around 1934 and set to music by the Lebanese composer Mohammed Flayfel, who also composed "Humat ad-Diyar", the national anthem of Syria. It became a popular patriotic song across the Arab world. For much of the 20th century it served as an unofficial anthem of the Palestinians and of other peoples of the Middle East.
