Selamat Sultan is the state anthem of Kelantan, Malaysia. On 5 July 1927, the Goanese Bandmaster of the Kelantan Police Band, Haji Mohamed bin Mohamed Saaid (1888–1939) was ordered to compose a song (only tunes) to be played to 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.

Lanjutkan usia Al-Sultan kami,Sultan Kelantan raja ikrami,
Aman sentosa Tuhan sirami,
Kekal memerintah kami. Kasih dan taat setia disembahkan,
