این کشور افغانستان است این عزت هر افغان است خانهٔ صلح، خانهٔ شمشیر هر فرزندش قهرمان است این کشور خانهٔ همه است از بلوچ، از ازبک از پشتون و هزارها از ترکمن و تاجک هم عرب و گوجر است پامیری‌ها، نورستانی ها براهوی است و قزلباش است هم آیماق و پشه‌ای ها این کشور همیشه تابان خواهد بود مثل آفتاب در آسمان کبود در سینهٔ آسیا هم مثل قلب جاویدان نام حق است ما را رهبر میگویم الله اکبر میگویم الله اکبر میگویم الله اکبر

English translation

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,

The land of Balochs and Uzbeks;

Of Pashtuns and Hazaras;

Of Turkmens and Tajiks.

With them, there are Arabs and Gurjars,

Pamiris, Nuristanis,

Brahuis and Qizilbash;

also Aimaqs and Pashais.

This land will shine forever,

Like the sun in the blue sky.

It is the heart of Asia,

It will beat forever.

We will follow the one God:

We all say, "God is the greatest!"
