"Surudi Milliy"^[a] is the national anthem of Tajikistan, officially adopted on 7 September 1994. It is derived from the anthem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic, composed by Sulaymon Yudakov in 1946.^[1]

History

Upon the country's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Tajikistan retained the Soviet-era regional anthem, lyrics and all, as its national anthem for a time before replacing the lyrics in 1994.^[2] This was in contrast to other former Soviet states like Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan that appropriated their old Soviet-era regional anthems as national ones but did so without the Soviet-era lyrics.

The lyrics were written by Gulnazar Keldi, and the music was composed by Sulaymon Yudakov. The melody is the same as that of the Tajik SSR anthem.

Lyrics

Official text^[3]	IPA transcription^[b]
Диёри арҷманди мо, Ба бахти мо сари азизи ту баланд бод, Саодати ту, давлати ту бегазанд бод. Зи дурии замонаҳо расидаем, Ба зери парчами ту саф кашидаем, кашидаем. Зинда бош, эй Ватан, Тоҷикистони озоди ман! Барои ному нанги мо Ту аз умеди рафтагони мо нишонаӣ, Ту баҳри ворисон ҷаҳони ҷовидонаӣ, Хазон намерасад ба навбаҳори ту, Ки мазраи вафо бувад канори ту, канори ту. Зинда бош, эй Ватан, Тоҷикистони озоди ман! Ту модари ягонаӣ, Бақои ту бувад бақои хонадони мо, Мароми ту бувад мароми ҷисму ҷони мо, Зи ту саодати абад насиби мост, Ту ҳастиву ҳама ҷаҳон ҳабиби мост, ҳабиби мост. Зинда бош, эй Ватан, Тоҷикистони озоди ман!

English translation

Our country so beloved,
Happy we are to see your dignity.
Let your joy and prosperity forever be.
We have reached this day since time immemorial;
Together aligned we stand under your flag, under your flag.
Long live my homeland,
My free Tajikistan!

You are our symbol maternal,
You are the symbol of our honour and dignity,
You are for all your sons and daughters a world eternal,
Never shall your bosom fade away,
We shall continue to remain loyal to you, loyal to you.
Long live my homeland,
My free Tajikistan!

You are a mother for us all,
Your destiny is the future for our families,
Your meaning is the essence of our souls and bodies,
You give us amaranthine happiness,
Because of you, Tajikistan, we love the world – love the world.
Long live my homeland,
My free Tajikistan!
