Duli Yang Maha Mulia () is the title of the state anthem of Selangor, Malaysia. It was adopted in 1967. The writer of the lyrics is unknown. The music was written by Saiful Bahri, who also wrote and composed the Malaccan state anthem, Melaka Maju Jaya.
The phrase is a royal title, equivalent to "His Royal Highness". It is used to refer to state rulers in Malaysia. This royal title is used especially on the heads of states of Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Perlis, Terengganu, Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang, Johor, and Perak.
History The first state anthem of Selangor was composed in 1908. It was a re-interpretation of the folk song Chantek Manis by Daniel Ortega. The lyrics to that are as follows:
selamatkan Duli Yang Maha Mulia, Kekal dan selamat di-atas Takhta, Panjangkan umur dan aman sentosa, Adil mewah murah memerintah rata, Daulat!
In 1967, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, then the Sultan of Selangor, announced that the song would be replaced with the present anthem.
