History

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 symbols after the Saur Revolution of 1978.[2][3][4] The music was composed by Jalīl Ghahlānd 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.

We went through the storm,
we reached the end of the road.
We have also traversed the paths of darkness,
also the path of light,
the red road of victory,
the pure path of brotherhood.

Our revolutionary homeland
is now in the hands of the workers.
The legacy of the lions,
now belongs to the peasants.
The age of tyranny ended,
the era of the workers began.

Chorus

III
We want peace and brotherhood
among the peoples of the world.
We ask more freedom,
for all those who work.
We asked for bread for them,
we asked for shelter and clothing for them.
