Bahrainona (Our Bahrain) was the national anthem of Bahrain from independence in 1971 until 2002, when the country's ruler Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah declared himself king and his country a kingdom. The words of the national anthem were changed at this time although the melody was retained.

The original words were written by Mohamed Sudqi Ayyash (born 1925). The composer of the melody is unknown.

English translation of the original words

Our Bahrain
Our King, a symbol of the harmony
Its constitution is high in the place and the position
Its charter is the way of (method of) sharia, Arabism and the values
Long live the kingdom of Bahrain
Country of nobles
Cradle of peace
Its constitution is high in the place and the position
Its charter is the way of (method of) sharia, Arabism and the values
Long live the kingdom of Bahrain
