Thenational anthem of theRepublic of Tajikistan[a] was officially adopted by theConstitution of Tajikistan on 7 September 1994, two days beforeIndependence Day. During this time, in the midst of theTajikistani Civil War, new lyrics were penned byGulnazar Keldi to reflect the country's independence from the Soviet Union and the country's status as a sovereign state. The melody, however, remains exactly the same as that of theanthem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic, composed bySulaymon Yudakov in 1946.[2] The national anthem of Tajikistan is one of the country's official state symbols, along with itsflag andcoat of arms.
Upon the country's independence from theSoviet Union in 1991, Tajikistan retained the Soviet-era regional anthem, lyrics and all, as its national anthem for a time before replacing the lyrics in 1994.[3] This was in contrast to other former Soviet states likeKazakhstan (until 2006),Russia (since 2000) andUzbekistan that appropriated their old Soviet-era regional anthems as national ones but did so without the Soviet-era lyrics.
