Bahrainona (Arabic: نشيد البحرين الوطني, literally: Our Bahrain), is the national anthem of Bahrain. Two different versions were made with the same melody but with different words. The first one anthem was used from the independence of Bahrain in 1971 until 2002. The second version was used since the country's ruler Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah was declared -by the people of Bahrain through the refrendum on the charter that was made by the people to grant constitutional amendments- a king, and his country a kingdom, until the present. The original words were written by Mohamed Sudqi Ayyash (born 1925). The composer of the melody is unknown, but it was later rearranged by the singer and composer Ahmed Al-Jumairi, where it became the current widely used anthem.
