Garam shah lā garam shah (English: "Be ardent, be more ardent") was the national anthem of Afghanistan between 1978 and 1992.
The music was the work of Jalīl Ghahlānd and was arranged by Ustad Salim Sarmad, and the lyrics were by the poet Sulaiman Layeq, 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.
Like many national anthems, it was sometimes sung abbreviated: only the chorus and the first stanza.
Ta e muquadas lamara
E da-āzādī lamara
E da-nekmarghī lamara.
Muzh patūfānunokē
Prī kra da-barī lāra
Ham da-toro shpo lāra
Ham da-ranāī lāra
Sra da-sarbāzī lāra
Paka da-rorī lāra.
Garam shah lā garam shah
Ta e muquadas lamara

E da-nekmarghī lamara.
Dā inqilābī vatan
Os da-kārgarāno de
Dagha da-zmaro mīrās
Os da-bāzgarāno de
Ter-so da-sitam daur
Vār da-mazdūrāno de.
Garam shah lā garam shah

you, Holy Sun.
Oh, Sun of Liberty!
Oh, Sun of a happy future!
We went through the storm,
we reached the end of the road.
We also travelled the paths of darkness,
also the path of light,
the red road to victory,
the pure path of brotherhood.
Be ardent, be more ardent,
you, Holy Sun.
Oh, Sun of Liberty!
Oh, Sun of a happy future!
Our revolutionary homeland
is now in the hands of the workers.
The legacy of the lions,
now belongs to the peasants.
The era of tyranny ended,
the era of the workers began.
Be ardent, be more ardent,
you, Holy Sun.
Oh, Sun of Liberty!
Oh, Sun of a happy future!
We want peace and brotherhood
