Sououd-e-Melli

Sououd-e-Melli was the national anthem of Afghanistan from 1978, shortly after the abolition of the monarchy, until 1989 when the Communist regime was defeated. It was banned by the Taliban along with all other music and was reinstated after their overthrow in 2002. It was written by Suleiman Laeq and composed by Ustad Salim Sarmad.

So long as the world endures;
So long as there is life in the world;
So long as a single Afghan breathes;
There will be this Afghanistan.
Long live the Afghan nation.
Long live the Republic.
Forever there be our national unity;
Forever there be the Afghan nation and the Republic.
Forever the Afghan nation, the Republic and National Unity - National Unity.
