The tune was originally that of "La Rosalie", a popular song in the Seychelles during the 19th century, originally written by French composer Pierre-Jean de Béranger.

It was adopted as Perak's royal anthem by Sultan Abdullah Muhammad Shah II, who was exiled in the Seychelles for abetting murder.

In 1957, the national anthem of Malaysia, "Negaraku" was set to the melody of "Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan".

[dilandʒutkan allah usiaɲa sultan] [adil dan murah məmərintah watan] [ditaʔat raʔjat kiri dan kanan] [iman jaŋ soləh allah kurniakan] [allah bərkati pəraʔ ridzuan] [allah səlamatkan nəgəri dan sultan] A long life may God grant to our Sultan Reigning just and kind o'er the land!
