Ḥumāt al-Ḥimá (Arabic: حماة الحمى, Defenders of the Homeland) is the national anthem of Tunisia; the lyrics was written by Mostafa Saadeq Al-Rafe'ie and Aboul-Qacem Echebbi. Music was composed by Mohammed Abdel Wahab or possibly by the poet Ahmed Kheireddine.
Known as the "Hymn of the Revolution", "Humat al-Hima" was temporarily used as a national anthem between the end of the monarchy in July 1957 and the adoption of "Ala Khallidi" as the official national anthem in March 1958. "Humat al-Hima" was brought back again following the coup d'état which brought president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to power in November 1987.

Refrain:
O defenders of the Homeland!
Rally around to the glory of our time!
The blood surges in our veins,
We die for the sake of our land.
Let the heavens roar with thunder
Let thunderbolts rain with fire.
Men and youth of Tunisia,
O defenders of the Homeland!
