History

After the end of Taliban rule in 2001, a new national anthem was created for the "New Afghanistan", which, according to the 20th article of the new Afghan constitution,[2] was to contain the names of the various ethnic groups of Afghanistan, and the formula "Allāhu Akbar" ("God is the greatest") had to be included. After a competition, "Millī Surūd" was declared the official national anthem in May 2006

After the Taliban takeover on 15 August 2021, it was replaced by "This is the Home of the Brave". However, in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in October–November, it was still played as the national anthem of Afghanistan, along with the flag of the internationally recognized Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.[3] The Islamic Republic anthem and flag were also used in the 2022 CAFA U-19 Futsal Championship.[4]

Criticism

The national anthem has been criticized several times: The Pashto language would marginalize other nationalities, and the text still does not name all ethnic groups of the country. According to devout Muslims, the formula "Allāhu Akbar" should not appear in a song.

Pashto original Pashto Romanization Pashto IPA transcription[lower-alpha 1] Dari translation[5] English translation

دا وطن افغانستان دى
دا عزت د هر افغان دى
كور د سولې، كور د تورې
هر بچى يې قهرمان دى

دا وطن د ټولو كور دى
د بلوڅو، د ازبكو
د پــښــتون او هزارهوو
د تركمنو، د تاجكو

ور سره عرب، ګوجر دي
پاميريان، نورستانيان
براهوي دي، قزلباش دي
هم ايماق، هم پشايان

دا هيواد به تل ځلېږي
لكه لمر پر شنه آسمان
په سينې كې د آسيا به
لكه زړه وي جاويدان

نوم د حق مو دى رهبر
وايو الله اكبر
وايو الله اكبر

Daa watan Afghaanistaan day,
Daa izat dae har Afghaan day.
Kor dae sole, kor dae toore,
Har bachay ye qahramaan day.

Daa watan dae ttolo kor day,
Dae Baloco, dae Uzbaeko;
Dae Paxhtoon aw Hazaaraawo,
Dae Turkmaeno, dae Taadzhaeko.

Waer sara Araeb, Goodzhaer dee,

Braahuwee dee, Qizilbaash dee,
Ham Aymaaq, ham Pashaayaan.

Daa heewaad ba tael dzalejee,
Laeka lmar paer shnae aasmaan.
Pae seene ke dae Aasyaa ba,
Laeka zrhae wee dzhaaweedaan.

Noom dae haq mo day rahbar:
«Waayoo Allaahu Akbar!»
«Waayoo Allaahu Akbar!»
«Waayoo Allaahu Akbar!»

این کشور افغانستان است
این عزت هر افغان است
خانهٔ صلح، خانهٔ شمشیر
هر فرزندش قهرمان است

این کشور خانهٔ همه است
از بلوچ، از ازبک
از پشتون و هزارها
از ترکمن و تاجک

هم عرب و گوجر است
پامیری‌ها، نورستانی ها
براهوی است و قزلباش است
هم آیماق و پشه‌ای ها

این کشور همیشه تابان خواهد بود
مثل آفتاب در آسمان کبود
در سینهٔ آسیا
هم مثل قلب جاویدان

نام حق است ما را رهبر
میگویم الله اکبر
میگویم الله اکبر

'Tis the land of Afghanistan,
'Tis the pride of every Afghan.
'Tis the land of peace and the sword,
'Tis the cradle of its brave sons.

'Tis the homeland of every tribe,
Of the Baloch and the Uzbeks;
Of Pashtuns, and of Hazaras;
Of the Turkmens and of Tajiks.

Among them are Arabs, Gurjars,
The Pamiris, Nuristanis;
The Brahuis, the Qizilbash;
Also Aimaqs and Pashais.

Like the sun in the deep blue sky;
Forever shall this great land shine!
In the chest of Asia it lies;
As the heart shall it remain!

We shall follow the one God:
We all chant, "God is the Greatest!"
We all chant, "God is the Greatest!"
We all chant, "God is the Greatest!"
