Anthem of the March
Lyrics by Ahmed Mukhaymar, Composed by Munir Al-Hakim
The march to the goal has begun, and the people have marched with determination
And if the people have begun the march, they will not tire and will not stop
From the banks of the proud Nile to the Euphrates to Algeria
The voice of Arabism is roaring like the sea, the waves come raging
And against treason it has shouted
Wretched is life without honor
The march to the goal has begun
Far be it from us to forget your betrayal, the fire, the blood, and the iron
In every inch around us of our land, there is a martyr hero
And at every turn of a corner
A memory in water that will not dry
The march to the goal has begun
Despite what they tremble at, we shall meet and we shall unite
And we march to tomorrow victorious, for no one intimidates us
And of the labyrinth we were not afraid
O torch of aggression, stop
The march to the goal has begun

Anthem of Swagger, O Baghdad
Lyrics by Abdul Jabbar Al-Hasani, Composed by Akram Raouf
Swagger, O Baghdad, with pride, you are the mother of noble deeds
Your era, overflowing with light, has shone in all directions
⟦line⟧
In you, the proud have written their glory line by line
They built it with souls and met 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
⟦line⟧
If a dear era returns, the era of the days of Al-Rashid
From ⟦...⟧ forever ⟦...⟧ and banners
The day the Arabs rose in it, guided by religion, like lions
Filling the universe with justice, righteousness, and eternity
We sought love, so it was an example for the righteous
Their religion is the religion of brotherhood in the quarters of the worlds

Anthem of Salute to Amman
Lyrics by Abdul Aziz Al-Muaybid, Composed by Yassin Al-Rawi
O land of Amman, the flame of struggle and soldiers with your victory, strong in arms
The fire breaks out against the intruders, blocking the way before the invaders
To achieve liberation and aspirations
The blood of the victims in the field of sacrifice, the paths of liberation above death
And victory for a people who annihilate the enemy, erase tyrants, and build life
To achieve liberation and aspirations
The struggle of Arabism in every valley, and the march of convoys towards Jihad
In the spirit of brotherhood and unity, to crush the intruder and defeat the oppressors
To achieve liberation and aspirations

Anthem: I am an Arab
Lyrics by Ali Jalal, Composed by Yassin Al-Rawi
I am an Arab, son of the Arab nation, I am an Arab living in the embrace of freedom
Dignity is my nature and my soul is always free and proud
I am an Arab, Arab, Arab
I am an Arab, a flame, a fire, and a revolution against colonialism
I am the struggle, I am the weapon against the tyrannical aggressors
I am neutrality, I am Jihad, the symbol of the defiant revolutionaries
I am steadfastness with determination and certainty and a clear victory
I continue my struggle and I call out and I call out
I am an Arab, Arab, Arab
I am an Arab, I do not let go of vengeance, I am the son of the free
I am hope, I am loyalty, for the sake of the homeland, sincere and faithful
I am success, for us is victory
A light on the path of the sincere
I am life with determination and certainty and a clear victory
I continue my struggle and I call out and I call out
I am an Arab, Arab, Arab
Anthem of the Arab Homeland
Lyrics by Safaa Al-Haidari, Composed by Alaa Kamel
From the patient of the fertile valley to Jerusalem to the stolen homeland
From green Tunisia to the Red, to the countryside, to the dyed edge
And from Algeria to the Hijaz to the dome of the beloved Sanctuary
And from the deserts to the mountains and from the floods to the steppes
The new dawn will call with its sweet, desirable voice
God is Greatest, O sanctuary, God is Greatest for the peoples
Anthem of the Glory of the Arabs
Lyrics by Khalid Al-Shawaf, Composed by Saeed Shabo
It is glory in its first cloak, the fabric of the Arabs
It looms with victory from a home beyond the shooting stars
So say to the sky
As you were in our yesterday, flutter over me, flutter in the heart of the sky
We have shaken off the centuries and risen as highness desires
And far be it from us to seek a home below the sky
Even the first radiance
To victory we led the revolutionaries through the night of centuries for an era past
We want life and we refuse stagnation for the good of existence
To build civilizations like the ancestors, the nectar of immortality
And there is no reason
Except our full right to life, and as for anything else, we shall not be robbed
If the nights of sickness ask us, we carry the branches
And if they break our covenant and protection, we send death
So say to the nations
If you draw the swords and spears, then the answer is iron and blood

Anthem of Arabism
Lyrics by Abdul Hadi Al-Baghdadi, Composed by Shaubi Ibrahim
⟦line⟧
My country, my country, a beacon for the worshipers
And a fortress of Jihad to strike the enemies
The den of Arabism
Live proud with an Arab smile
A splendid country in a rich land
Fertile gardens
The land of the ancestors, the fortresses of lions
O soul, be generous so that my existence remains
In a beloved land
I will protect Oman so it may flourish and be quenched
Palestine's time has come for us to annihilate the coward
With a flaming spirit

Today my nation chants the anthem of its Arab unity
Today throats break out in beloved hymns
One homeland, one goal, one people, one people

Today there is no terrorism, no tyranny, no sorrowful souls
Today throats break out in beloved hymns
One homeland, one goal, one people, one people

Anthem of O Palestine
Lyrics by Ahmed Hamoudi Al-Samarrai, Composed by Yassin Al-Rawi
⟦line⟧
O Palestine, return despite the enemies, a paradise for the Arabs and a symbol of sacrifice
And return as a garment we boast of in March when the morning appears
And return as a torch by which everyone who strayed was guided, and as a bright star
We are all soldiers, and with our souls we redeem you, however long it takes
We do not bend in the field of battle; how many times have we drunk the cup in the field of death
History has told that we are a nation that creates good and is to be emulated
So strengthen your resolve, for this is a dawn that has appeared, returning with smiling hopes and sweet dew
O sanctuary of truth from the oppressor who desecrated Jerusalem and corrupted it
The cry of truth will be tomorrow in our Jerusalem, so let our appointment be there tomorrow

Anthem of Unity
Lyrics by Muhammad Jamil Shalash, Composed by Ruhi al-Khammash
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
We have blood that will sacrifice in the future
And a revolution that breaks the resolve of the generation
We have a morning that dawned with hope
The Great Unity is ours, so rejoice
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
From every region a cry is launched
And ululations soar in the heights
Happiness is ours, the accompanying light is ours
O my nation, the bright morning is ours
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
The legend of grandfather will be erased with blood
And our free people will meet with high resolve
So embrace our wounds and smile
And repeat the melody of the heights and my tune
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
We have free blood in the Maghreb
Making the dawn of the people, the dawn of the Arabs
Palestine of the anticipated tomorrow is ours
So melt, O my nation, and ignite
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
Our revenges, our revenges, our revenges
Our regions, O my nation, have become narrow with them
Enough of our humiliation, so be pious, enough ⟦perhaps⟧
The Great Unity is our slogan

Anthem of the Arabian Peninsula
Lyrics by Habib al-Obaidi, Composed by Akram Raouf
Its pebbles have merit over the shooting stars, and its soil is better than gold
The sky wishes it could wear a robe of its wondrous style
And if the lightning sees its smile
It intoxicates it with the wine of wonder
If the mirage appears in its deserts, tell the Galaxy River to be hidden
The most honorable of them performed pilgrimage in the land of Hijaz, to the partner of the moons from nearby
I do not take the land of heaven as a homeland for me
Instead of the Arabian Peninsula
We are the descendants of a nation that raised a banner for guidance upon the monuments
We are the descendants of a nation that wrote the miracles of history with swords
We are the descendants of a nation that delivered a sermon
On the day it stood with the most brilliant ranks

To all school administrations affiliated with this directorate
We have learned that some school administrations are neglecting or failing to inform us of the arrest of a
member of the teaching staff, or are sufficing with stating their absence from work without mentioning the reason, which indicates
a lack of desire to cooperate. Therefore, we warn them and demand that they provide us with sufficient
information if this occurs. Otherwise, we will hold the school principal responsible for any negligence
that leads to the benefit of those lurking against the blessed 14 Ramadan Revolution ⟦line⟧ h

Subject/ Medical examinations in schools
⟦line⟧
We had previously instructed school administrations on the necessity of assisting the health authorities visiting schools
for the purpose of examination, vaccination, and immunization, and providing all facilities that ease their mission. However, we have been informed that
the administrations of most schools are placing various obstacles to hinder the mission of those authorities, which leads to
the loss of the desired benefit. Therefore, we reaffirm to school administrations the necessity of full cooperation
with the aforementioned health authorities; otherwise, we will not hesitate to punish those who violate this,
considering that the entire teaching staff is jointly responsible for everything that hinders the efforts of the health
authorities.
