"United Republic",[a] also known by its incipit "Repeat, O World, My Song",[b] is the national anthem of Yemen. It was written by ʿAbdullāh ʿAbd al-Wahhāb Nuʿmān to music composed by ʾAyyūb Ṭārish. It was formerly used as the national anthem of South Yemen but was adopted by Yemen when the country was unified in 1990.[1]

During its usage by South Yemen from 1979 to 1990,[2] the anthem was known as the National Anthem of People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.[3]
