The National anthem of Mauritania (Arabic: النشيد الوطني الموريتاني), also known by its incipit, "Bilāda l-ʾubāti l-hudāti l-kirām" (English: "Land of the Proud, Guided by Noblemen"; French: "Pays des fiers, nobles guides"), was officially adopted on 28 November 2017 and was composed by Egyptian composer Rageh Daoud.
The music was composed by Philippe Gentil, and the English lyrics were written by Jean-Georges Prosper. The anthem is short and briefly describes the luscious landscape of Mauritius. It also mentions the qualities of its people: peace, justice and liberty. The national anthem was first played during the first Independence Day on 12 March 1968.

The remaining newspapers were returned to be reprinted with the correction. [3]
