"United Republic" (Arabic: الجمهورية المتحدة, romanized: al-Jomhuriyah al-Mottaḥedah) is the national anthem of Yemen. It was written by Abdollah Abdolwahâb Noʿmân and composed by ʾAyub Ṭâreš. The music was formerly used as the national anthem of South Yemen but was adopted by Yemen when the country was unified in 1990.[1]

During its usage by South Yemen from 1979 to 1990,[2] the title was "National Anthem of People's Democratic Republic of Yemen" (Arabic: النشيد الوطني لجمهورية اليمن الديمقراطية الشعبية, romanized: n-Našid al-Waṭane al-Jomhuriyat l-Yaman d-Dimoqrâṭiya š-Šaʿbiya).[3]
