State Anthem of Perak Darul Ridzuan

Perak is one of the 13 states of Malaysia.

"Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan" is the state anthem of Perak, Malaysia.

The state anthem was created during a state visit of Sultan Idris of Perak to England in 1888. It was noticed that no anthem existed to greet the Sultan. The aide-de-camp of the Sultan, Raja Mansur ibni Sultan Abdullah, did not dare inform that no anthem existed and so instead hummed a song he knew from the Seychelles, a melody originally written by Pierre Jean de Beranger. After he told the Sultan about it, the sultan accepted the song as the anthem. The lyrics were written by Raja Ngah Manur bin Raja Abdullah.

In 1957 the national anthem of Malaysia, Negaraku, was selected to use the same melody.

Lyrics

Dilanjutkan Allah usianya Sultan
Adil dan murah memerintah watan
Ditaati rakyat kiri dan kanan
Iman yang soleh Allah kurniakan
Allah berkati Perak Ridzuan
Allah selamatkan Negeri dan Sultan.

Translation

May God grant our Sultan with a long life
May he rule with justice and kindness
Obeyed by one and all.
May God grant the Sultan steadfast faith in Him
Almighty God bless Perak Darul Ridzuan
God save the State and the Sultan.
