قلعه اسلام قلب اسیا
جاویدان ازاد خاک اریا
زادگاه قهرمانان دلیر
سنگررزمنده مردان خدا
الله اکبر الله اکبرالله اکبر الله اکبر
تیغ ایمانش به میدان جهاد
بنداستبدادراازهم گسست
ملت ازاده افغانستان
در جهان زنجیرمحکومان شکست
الله اکبرالله اکبرالله اکبر الله اکبر
پرچم ایمان به بام مابود
سرخط قران نظام ما بود
وحدت ملی مرام مابود

الله اکبرالله اکبرالله اکبر الله اکبر
ای وطن درنورقانون خدا
شادزی ازادزی ابادزی
مردم سرگشته راشورهنما
مشعل ازادگی رابرفراز
الله اکبرالله اکبرالله اکبر الله اکبر

English Translation
Fortress of Islam, heart of Asia,
Forever free, soil of the Aryans,
Birthplace of great heroes
Fellow traveler of the warriors of the men of God,
God is great! God is great! God is great!
Blade of its faith to the arena of Jihad,
Removing the shackles of suppression,
The nation of freedom, Afghanistan,
Breaks the chains of the oppressed in the world.
God is great! God is great! God is great!
Let the lines of the Koran be our order,
Let the banner of faith be on our roof,
With the echoes and the voices going together,
Let national unity be what we strive for,
God is great! God is great! God is great!
Live happy, live free, live and prosper,
Oh homeland in the light of God’s law,
Become a leader for the people who are oppressed,
Lift the torch of freedom high,
God is great! God is great! God is great!
