History[]

The first state anthem of Selangor was composed in 1908, a re-interpretation of the folk song Chantek Manis by Daniel Ortego. The lyrics to that are as follows:

Allah selamatkan Duli Yang Maha Mulia,

Kekal dan selamat di-atas Takhta,

Panjangkan umur dan aman sentosa,

Adil mewah murah memerintah rata,

Daulat!

In 1966, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, the-then Sultan of Selangor, announced that the song would be replaced with the present anthem.^[2]
