Subject / Implementation of Artistic Activity Instructions
It has been noted with great regret that most school administrations have not reviewed the artistic activity instructions
printed in a special booklet and sent to you via our letter No. 5638 dated 18 / 12 / 1961
and have begun sending correspondence regarding activities, newsletters, or holding parties, etc. ⟦line⟧
in an incomplete manner and in violation of the texts of the aforementioned instructions, which indicates the school administration's negligence
in reading the instructions received from the competent authorities and acting accordingly ⟦line⟧ .
It was also noted that some school administrations hold free school parties or present some other activities
during meetings held by the school without presenting these materials to the Artistic Activity Division
in this Directorate, especially trivial dance and singing materials that are absolutely inconsistent
with the school atmosphere, which were filmed and broadcast from Baghdad Television to the public ⟦line⟧
Some schools have sought help to present these activities from elements outside the school ⟦line⟧
without this department being aware of that.
Therefore, we urge all school administrations to review the instructions with full accuracy
and send all activities that the school intends to present on stage or at school in two copies
and the activities intended to be presented on Baghdad Television in three copies to the Artistic Activity
Division in this Directorate for review and referral to the competent authorities for approval ⟦line⟧
The school administration will now be responsible for every violation issued contrary to the instructions
mentioned above.

And goodness is in our deeds, it is enough pride for us that
In every battle of life, we shall continue to be called Guides
For God - for the people - for the homeland (Chorus)
Protection we grant to a home that complains of affliction or weakness

My anthem filled the world and rose in the two horizons, how sweet you are my country, how precious are the Two Rivers
The birthplace of the free to me and a den for the brave, you gave birth to Abdul Karim in the dark nights
Savior of the people, peace to you and the proud soldiers, long may you live for the people as a leader building the edifice of life
My homeland, you are my hope and my sweet wishes, my life is vowed to you, I do not fear hardships
By you we have sworn the oath, all of us youth, so live free and noble or be hidden in the clouds

My homeland, O harbor of the sun and the light of stars
My homeland, we sing to you in the world so we may remain

To you our blood in loyalty, and to you the soul is a sacrifice
O savior, this is some of the signs of faithfulness
Do not think we have forgotten the intruders, or forgotten the affliction we met
For the masses of the people, O Abdul Karim, have said to you: we are all today a sacrifice
"O Beloved of the People"
O free men, O soldiers of the hero, glory is but building and work
So know that if you seek the pride of the homeland, it is through union without weariness or boredom
"O Beloved of the People"
O army, O lion of the den, God has endowed you with clear victory
Your mighty people are one rank; thus the enemy fears the solid rank

Anthem of Algeria
Composed by Rawhi Al-Khammash
The Algerian people are believers | and to Arabism they belong
Whoever says they strayed from their roots | or says they died, has lied
Or sought their assimilation | has sought the impossible of demands
⟦line⟧
O youth, you are our hope | and through you the morning has drawn near
Take for life its weapons | and plunge into wars and do not fear
And let the souls of the oppressors taste | poison mixed with terror
Raise the beacon of justice and charity | and repel those who are biased
Whoever seeks our friendship | shall have honor and love
Or whoever seeks our enmity | shall have humiliation and war
⟦line⟧
This is the system of our lives | written with light and with flame
Until there returns to our people | what has passed of their glory
And we shall lead the army of the capable | to let them taste the cup of ruin
This is my covenant to you | until I am laid in the dust
And if I perish, my cry is | Long live Algeria and the Arabs
Composed by Hikmat Yusuf | Anthem of the July Revolution
Our chains have been broken | our soldiers broke them
And the people supported them | so our banners were victorious
The people of past eras | were the example of the tyrant
They were crushed in a revolution | that became their final end
A revolution of a conquering people | that leveled the fortresses of the oppressor
It echoed like a thunderous strike | in the courtyard of the traitor
July is the month of pride | on the fourteenth
From it we gained our victory | we, the proud and righteous
Composed by Abdel Wahab Al-Shaikhly | Anthem of O Scout
O Scout, march toward the heights | and build a high glory among the people
March with resolve
March with resolve, with determination and steadfastness | and speak the truth and be in life
March with resolve
Be brave and fierce like lions | and serve the valley to please the ancestors
March with resolve
God's decree is mighty and conquering | and build for the homelands a magnificent pride
March with resolve
O Scout, march toward the heights | and build a high glory among the people

O Palestine, return despite the distance, a paradise for the Arabs and a symbol of sacrifice
And return as a garment to be adorned with, in March when the morning appears
And return as a torch by which everyone who was lost was guided, and as a bright star
We are all soldiers, and in our souls, we sacrifice for you even if the distance is long
We do not bend in the field of battle, how many times have we drunk the cup in the field of destruction
History has told that we are a nation that creates good, and we are to be emulated
So strengthen your resolve, for this is a dawn that has appeared, returning with smiling hopes and sweet dew
And reclaim the right from the aggressor who desecrated Jerusalem and caused corruption in it
The cry of truth will be tomorrow in our Jerusalem, so let our appointment be there tomorrow

We swear by the lightning that destroys, by the virtuous and pure blood

We have revolted, so it is life or death, and we have resolved that Algeria shall live
So bear witness!
We are soldiers who revolted for the sake of truth, and for our independence we rose in war
No one listened to us when we spoke, so we took the rhythm of gunpowder as our meter
And we played the tune of the machine gun as our melody, and we have resolved that Algeria shall live
So bear witness!
O France, the time for reproach has passed, and we have folded it as a book is folded
O France, this is the day of reckoning, so prepare and take the answer from us
In our revolution is the final word, and we have resolved that Algeria shall live
So bear witness!
From our heroes we send forth an army, and upon our heads we raise a banner
Upon our remains we ascend to glory, and upon our souls we create eternity
National Liberation Front, we have given you a pledge, and we have resolved that Algeria shall live
So bear witness!
The cry of the homelands in the field of sacrifice, so hear it and respond to the call
Write it with the blood of the martyrs, and read it to the children of the generation tomorrow
We have extended a hand to you, O Glory, and we have resolved that Algeria shall live, so bear witness

My Arab brother everywhere, my brother in Algeria, my brother in Oman
My brother, the call of struggle has summoned you; my brother, you are called to a fierce war

And to bear arms against the enemies, and to ignite war . . and offer blood cheaply
So sacrifice blood
And hurl lava
My Arab brother
Palestine calls . . and Aden calls, and the voice of the South . . and the voice of Yemen
It calls you, so arise my brother, and answer the call of brotherhood . . and the homeland
Arabism calls its youths, it calls Iraq and its eagles
It calls Al-Kinana, the symbol of pride; it calls Marrakech and its knights
We were called to plunge into the seas of clash; we were called to walk, my brother, forward
Arabism called us to offer it blood to water the valleys of peace

Words by Ma'ruf al-Rusafi, Anthem of Sacrifice for the Homeland, Composed by Jamil Bashir
We have waded through the depths of death as scouts for trials; we have nothing but to wear glory or wear the shroud
We offer the soul, sacrificing it to revive the homeland; are there any prices for homelands in the world other than souls?
We were not created to bear injustice or wear humiliation, but we were created for loftiness and precedence on the day of the wager
These are our homelands, surpassing the paradises of heaven; how can we not sacrifice our souls for them in the fierce war?
You, O homelands, are medals in the land we plowed; because of you, we flow in the fray like a torrent of blood

Words by Abdul Jabbar Al-Hasani, Anthem of Baghdad, Composed by Akram Raouf
Boast of Baghdad with pride, you are the mother of noble deeds
Your flourishing era has spread in all directions
In you, their grandfather has written life line by line
His song is for souls that found victory after victory
⟦line⟧
Renew, O Baghdad, an era in which you were the lighthouse
The day when brotherhood was a slogan for the sons of the Arabs
Remember a dear era, the era of the days of Rashid
An era of literature, science, arts, and banners
⟦line⟧
The day the youth rose in it like lions guided by religion
Filling the universe with justice, righteousness, and eternity
They spread the cause and were role models for the righteous
Their religion is the religion of brotherhood throughout the worlds

(( Words of Ahed Al-Sahib Al-Khudari )) - Anthem of the Victorious Soldier / - "Composed by Hanna Petros"
We are the best soldiers on the day of the crowd, we have reached the highest status in battle
The day we made the enemy drink the cup of death, so rejoice in happiness, O Abode of Peace
⟦line⟧
The earth and the lowlands surged in humility since we rose to persist with weapons
Where we made them drink the poison of slaughter and cleared the darkness from the sky of war
⟦line⟧
Our determination has demolished the highest peaks, our resolve has baffled the minds of the enemies
A prestige that made the heads of the steeds fall, they prostrated to our blades at the clash
⟦line⟧
We are a wall for the homelands during calamities, and suns and moons in the darkness
We sacrifice for the Arabs to gain joy with our blood on the day of the sword's judgment
⟦line⟧
So rejoice, O Arabs, in the iron soldiers, whose embers melted solid iron
For you, O our people, is the prosperous life and wishes, and for us is the sudden death

( Words by Muhammad Ahmad al-Muhanna ) "Anthem of the Homeland" ( Composed by Akram Raouf )
Our land is our paradise and it is the homeland, the source of bounties, the fountain of favors
The refuge of family, our sanctuary and home, our protective shield, our highness and buckler
Our glory is of precious price, our pride throughout time, everything in it is beautiful
My homeland is the cradle of highness, the land of Iraq, the paradise of children, the inheritance of ancestors
With its delights, it boasted to the world and surpassed it with what it immortalized from the most brilliant eras
And with might and generosity and with sons like lions, my homeland prevails in it
My homeland is the house that nourished the sciences and built the first civilizations of mortals
In it, Babylon revealed the flowers of the stars, and the mountains embraced the child of the villages
And for Baghdad the summits, from an ancient past that blossomed and the monuments of the ages
My homeland, O my homeland, my soul is your ransom, history honored you and glory cared for you
My homeland, if a tyrant transgresses in your sanctuary, God humbles him and protects you through the people
No highness except your highness, no love except your love, my homeland, my soul is your ransom
⟦line⟧
( Composed by Saeed Shabo ) "Anthem of These Lands"
These lands are a homeland for us, and they are the sanctuary and the home
And they are the ones for which the price was paid ⟦for their protection⟧, a full and good price
Its sky is the manifest light, and its land is the precious fertility
And its faithful, helping flow is for the hands and the forehead
In the past, it outweighed all kingdoms in highness
Its knowledge encompassed the masses in every region or desert
We are the youth, all of us, we protect the country with our soul
The attainment of desires is inevitable ⟦no matter what⟧ hardships you encounter

Month of July, greetings, in you a people have been liberated
As they took charge of every matter and commanded against injustice

We are the builders in the homeland, its protectors on the day of ordeals

And your memory shall be immortalized

It has charted victory for us
Blessed be the memory
In great joy
For the Arabs are for the good news
O Arabs, come, rise up
O sunrise of hopes
O joy of generations
It has shone with pride
Salute of reverence
O Arabs, come, rise up
With your guiding light
Overflow upon the masses

In your clear day
The face of wishes appeared
Captivating mortals with magic
Souls yearn for it
O Arabs, come, rise up

My Eternal Homeland Anthem
"Composed by Ahmed Al-Khalil"
⟦line⟧
Carrying creativity and splendor together
My eternal homeland, poems to sing
Land of the masters of childhood
My homeland, land of manhood
The melody of glory traveled from its slopes
History preserves glories for us
My homeland is a pasture for lofty pride
My homeland is a source of goodness and inspiration
It is the dawn of struggle
It is the field of men
It is the hoped-for dream in the eyes
It is the determination that demolished fortresses
We are the guards of the hills and our pains
We are the sweetest secret, determination, and loyalty
We are in the path of life
We are the pride of nations
The melody of glory traveled from our slopes
The melody of goodness and the breaths of intellect
My homeland, your love flows in the blood
My homeland, you are the den of the loyal
In dedication, in the ⟦quest⟧
In the anthems of redemption
In the wishes, in the hearts of the righteous
From the chants of the good shepherds

( Lyrics by Abdul Ilah Abdul Jabbar ) / Anthem of the Revolution / ( Composed by Farouk Hilal )
The roar of your winds through my blood radiates its light upon the stars
A sail of light split the darkness, O land of my great people, be safe
Your dewy soil is the anchor of beauty, factories for the revolutionary men
You endured for long, long years, clarifying within your ambiguous depths
Volcanoes rising to the stars, O land of my great people, be safe
We raised you as a chant on the lips and a heart surging with the love of life
Pouring its blaze upon every villain if the shackle roars on the wrist
And the best of mountains embroidered your horizon, O land of my great people, be safe
The blood of the victims is on your cheeks, a morning greeting fluttering over you
Your soil is from us and we belong to you, we repel the snow from the bud
And we sing to your inspiring history, O land of my great people, be safe

2 { In its pebbles there is merit over the shooting stars, and its soil is better than gold
2 { We wish the sky would wear a robe of its wondrous style
2 { The valley of the she-camels, its mark is lofty
2 { Intoxicated by the chapter of love
2 { If the mirage appeared in its caves, tell the river of the galaxy to be veiled
2 { The stars of the Hijaz gardens have spread to show you the moons up close
2 { You are not the land of the sky in our homeland
2 { O pearls of the Arabian Peninsula
2 { We are the descendants of a nation that set up a banner for guidance on the monuments
2 { We are the descendants of a nation that wrote the miracles of history with swords
2 { We are the descendants of a nation that delivered a sermon
2 { On the day it rose to the highest ranks
