History
In 1927, Sultan Sulaiman instructed Mohamad Hashim bin Abu Bakar, an Assistant Teacher at the Malay Primary School at Paya Bunga, to compose a tune, which was to be played on the occasion of His Highness's birthday. Mohamad Hashim bin Abu Bakar was then the leader of a Boy Scout Band in Kuala Terengganu and later Bandmaster of the Terengganu Police Band. The music which he composed with accompanying words were submitted to the late Dato Sri Andika di-Raja, who was ADC to the Sultan and also a member of the Council of Ministers, and a few days later Mohamad Hashim bin Abu Bakar was commanded to appear outside the Istana Kolam, and he sang the anthem to the accompaniment of the Band of the Sultan Sulaiman Boy Scouts Troop in His Highness's presence. Not long afterwards Mohamad Hashim bin Abu Bakar trained a group of school children from Paya Bunga to sing the anthem and after he sang it a second time the Sultan accepted the music and words as the Terengganu State Anthem and commanded that Mohamad Hashim bin Abu Bakar should be rewarded.Japanese Occupation
A slight amendment was made to the fourth and sixth lines during the Japanese occupation but the music and the rest of the words remained as they were originally composed.Lyrics
