"Salam Affandina" (Template:Lang-ar, lit. 'Peace/Salute of Our Lord/Master') was the national anthem of Egypt from 1871–1922 and 1936–1958, then it was replaced by "Walla Zaman Ya Selahy". It was renamed "Egyptian Republican Anthem" (Template:Lang-ar) in 1953 after the Egyptian revolution of 1952.[1] It was instrumental and had no official lyrics.[1]
The melody of the song has been adopted by Sephardic Jewry and is currently sung in Sephardic synagogues in Israel when the Torah Scroll is take out of the ark.[2]
