The first state anthem of Selangor was composed in 1908. It was a re-interpretation of the folk song Chantek Manis by Daniel Ortego. The lyrics to that are as follows:

Allah 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.^[2]
