Thenational anthem of theDemocratic Republic of Afghanistan was the official anthem used duringthe period of one-party socialist rule from 1978 to 1992.[1]
The lyrics were written bySulaiman Laiq on behalf of the government of thePeople's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) headed byNur Muhammad Taraki, who decided to change the national symbols after theSaur Revolution of 1978.[2][3][4] The music was composed by Jalil 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.
The national anthem consisted of three stanzas and refrains, beginning with the refrain. On many occasions, just the first chorus and verse is performed.
