The Dudayev-era anthem replaced "My Checheno-Ingushetia", the anthem of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Afterwards "Joƶalla ya marşo" was replaced by the current Chechen anthem, "Shatlak's Song".[1]

We were born at night when the she-wolf whelped,
In the morning, to lion’s deafening roar, they named us There is no God except Allah In eagles’ nests our mothers nursed us, To tame wild bulls our fathers taught us. There is no God except Allah |

Our mothers raised us to dedicate ourselves to our Nation and our Homeland,
And if our nation needs us we’re ready to fight the oppressive hand. There is no God except Allah We grew up free as eagles, princes of the mountains. There is no threshold from which we will shy away. There is no God except Allah |

Sooner will cliffs of granite begin to melt like molten lead,
Than any one of us shall lose our honour in life’s struggles. There is no God except Allah Sooner shall the Earth be swallowed up by the broiling sun, Than we emerge from a trial in life without our honour! There is no God except Allah |

Never to bow our heads to anyone, we give our sacred pledge,
To die or to live in freedom is our fate. There is no God except Allah Our sisters heal our brothers’ bloody wounds with their songs, Lovers’ eyes will supply the strength of arms. There is no God except Allah |

If hunger weaken us, we’ll gnaw on the roots of trees,
And if thirst debilitates us, we’ll drink the dew from the grass! There is no God except Allah For we were born at night when the she-wolf whelped. We pledge our lives to God, Nation and Vainakh homeland. There is no God except Allah |
