Selamat Sultan is the state anthem of Kelantan, Malaysia. Its melody was composed on 5 July 1927 by Allahyarham Mohamed bin Hamzah Saaid (1895–1971), the Goa-born Bandmaster of the Kelantan Police Band who was ordered to have an instrumental song played for the then-Sultan of Kelantan, Ismail. Subsequently, the words were composed by Mahmood bin Hamzah (1893–1971), who was the State Secretary at that time.

Lyrics

Original Malay version

Lanjutkan usia Al-Sultan kami,

Sultan Kelantan raja ikrami,

Aman sentosa Tuhan sirami,

Kekal memerintah kami.

Kasih dan taat setia disembahkan,

Keriangan diucapkan,

Segala kebesaran Allah cucurkan,

Bertambah kemuliaan.

Jawi Version

لنجوتکن اوسيا السلطان کامي⹁
سلطان کلنتن راج اکرامي⹁
امان سنتوسا توهن سيرمي⹁
ککل ممرينته کامي.‎

کاسيه دان طاعة ستيا دسمبهکن⹁
کرياڠن دأوچاڤکن⹁
سݢالا کبسرن الله چوچورکن⹁
برتامبه کمولياءن.‎

Translated English version

Prolonged be the life of our Sultan,

The divine Sultan of Kelantan,

In peace with God's blessing,

Forever rule over us.

Love and loyalty we offer,

A wish of happiness we utter,

May God bless him with greatness,

And his glory increase.
