This land is Afghanistan, it is the pride of every Afghan The land of peace, the land of sword, each of its sons is brave |
Dā watan Afγānistān dai, dā izat də har Afγān dai Kor də sole, kor də ture, har bačai ye qahramān dai
|
دا وطن افغانستان دى دا عزت د هر افغان دى كور د سولې، كور د تورې هر بچى يې قهرمان دى |
|
This is the country of every tribe, The land of Balochs and Uzbeks Pashtuns and Hazaras, Turkmens and Tajiks |
Dā watan də ttolo kor dai, də Baločo, də Uzbəko də Pax̌tun aw Hazārawo, də Turkməno, də Tāǰəko |
دا وطن د ټولو كور دى د بلوچو، د ازبكو د پــښــتون او هزارهوو د تركمنو، د تاجكو |
|
With them, there are Arabs and Gujjars, Pamiris, Nuristanis Brahuis, and Qizilbash, also Aimaqs and Pashais |
Wər sara Arəb, Guǰər di, Pāmiryān, Nuristānyān Brāhuwi di, Qizilbāsh di, ham Aymāq, ham Pašāyān |
ور سره عرب، ګوجر دي پاميريان، نورستانيان براهوي دي، قزلباش دي هم ايماق، هم پشايان |
|
This land will shine for ever, like the sun in the blue sky In the chest of Asia, it will remain as heart for ever |
Dā hiwād ba təl dzaleγ̌i, ləka lmar pər šnə āsmān Pə sine ke də Āsyā ba, ləka zrrə wi ǰāwidān |
دا هيواد به تل ځلېږي لكه لمر پر شنه آسمان په سينې كې د آسيا به لكه زړه وي جاويدان |
|
We will follow the one God We all say, "Allah is the greatest!", we all say, "Allah is the greatest!", we all say, "Allah is the greatest!" |
Num də haq mo dai rahbar, Wāyu Allāhu Akbar, Wāyu Allāhu Akbar, Wāyu Allāhu Akbar |
نوم د حق مو دى رهبر وايو الله اكبر وايو الله اكبر وايو الله اكبر |
