Original Lyrics in Pashto
دې وطن افغانستان دی.
دې د ټولو وطن
د بلوچو وطن
د ازبکو وطن
د پښتون او هزاره
د ترکمن او تاجکو
ورسره عرب، ګوجر، پامیران
نورستاني، براهوي
قزلباش، ايماق، پشه يي
همدغه وطن د ټولو مشترک کور دی.
لوی خدایه لويه پروردګاره
پر دې وطن افغانستان باندې
ورحميږې ورحميږې
دې وطن افغانستان دی
د ټولو وطن.
English Translation of the Lyrics
Here is the Afghanistan national anthem English version. “Milli Surood” reflects the pride and unity of Afghanistan. Below is the English translation of the lyrics.
This land is Afghanistan,
It is the pride of every Afghan.
The land of peace, the land of the sword,
Each of its sons is brave.
This is the country of every tribe,
Land of Baluch, and Uzbeks,
Pashtoons and Hazaras,
Turkmen and Tajiks,
With them, there are Arabs and Gujjars,
Pamiris, Nuristanis,
Brahuis, and Qizilbash,
Also Aimaq, and Pashaye.
This Land will shine forever,
Like the sun in the blue sky.
In the chest of Asia,
It will remain as the heart forever.
We will follow the one God.
We all say, “Allah is great!”, we all say, “Allah is great!”, we all say, “Allah is great!”
