The National Anthem of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was the official anthem used during the period of one-party socialist rule from 1978 to 1992.[1]
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.
