"Dąbrowski's Mazurka", in English known by its incipit "Poland Is Not Yet Lost", is the national anthem of Poland. The lyrics were written by Józef Wybicki in Northern Italy (July 1797), two years after the Third Partition of Poland.
It was originally meant to boost the morale of Polish soldiers serving under General Jan Dąbrowski's Polish Legions that served with Napoleon's French Revolutionary Army in the Italian campaigns.
"Dąbrowski's Mazurka", expressing the idea that the nation of Poland, had not disappeared as long as the Polish people were still alive and fighting in its name, soon became one of the most popular patriotic songs in Poland.
The music is an unattributed mazurka and considered a "folk tune".
