National anthem of the Kingdom of Afghanistan

The "Grand Salute" (Pashto: لوی سلام, lit. 'Loya Salami'), also known by its incipit "Our Brave and Noble King" (Persian: ای شاهِ غیور و مهربانِ ما, romanized: Schahe ghajur-o-mehrabane ma) was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Afghanistan from 1943 to 1973. The song was officially launched in 1943 and replaced the first national anthem: The Royal Salute, created during the reign of Amanullah Khan.

ای شاهِ غیور و مهربانِ ما

Oh, our King!
