History

edit

Its lyrics were written by Sulaiman Laiq on behalf of the government of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) headed by Nur Muhammad Taraki, who decided to change the national symbols after the Saur Revolution of 1978.[2][3][4] The music was composed by Jaleel Ghahland and was arranged by Ustad Salim Sarmad.[5][6] Like many national anthems, it was sometimes sung abbreviated with only the chorus and the first stanza. In 1987, Afghanistan officially abandoned communism but this song was kept as the national anthem until 1992, when it was discontinued.

Lyrics

edit

The national anthem consisted of three stanzas and refrains, beginning with the refrain. On many occasions, just the first chorus and verse is performed.

ګرم شه، لا ګرم شه
ته‌ ای مقدس لمره
ای د آزادی لمره
ای د نیکمرغی لمره

موږ پتوفانونو کی
پری کړه د بری لاره
هم د تورو شپو لاره
هم د رڼایی لاره
سره د سربازی لاره
پاکه د وروری لاره

٢
دا انقلابی وطن
اوس د کارګرانو دی
دغه د زمرو میراث
اوس د بزګرانو دی
تېر شو د ستم دور
وار د مزدورانو دی

موږ په نړیوالو کی

پراخه آزادی غواړو
موږ ورته ډوډی غواړو
کور غواړو، کالی غواړو

ما در دل توفان‌ها
گشودیم راه پیروزی را
راه شب‌های تاریک را
راه روشنایی را
راه سرخ سربازی را
و راه پاک برادری را

این میهن انقلابی
حال از کارگران است
این میراث شیران
حال از کشاورزان است
بگذشته دوران بیداد
حال دوران مزدوران است

ما برای جهانیان
صلح و برادری می‌خواهیم
ما برای زحمت کشان
آزادی گسترده می‌خواهیم
برای شان نان می‌خواهیم
خانه می‌خواهیم، جامه می‌خواهیم

Chorus:
Hotter and ardent become,
Thou Sun holy and marvelous.
Thou art our Sun of freedom,
O Sun of destiny lustrous.

I
Through the harsh storms we traversed,
The end of a road we reached.
Through a dismal past we trekked,
Yet toward light we advanced,
Thus to victory we marched,
And to kinship we triumphed.

Chorus

II
Our land renewed and sage
In the workers' hands at last.
Lions sacred in this age
Brought down to peasants steadfast.
Now in the labourers' age,
The era of tyrants passed.

Chorus

III
For peace and fraternity
Among proletarians;
For freedom and democracy
To the faithful labourers.
To the sworn community,
We request for victuals.
