"Surudi Milli"^[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 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

Tajik original^[3]	Tajik Latin alphabet	IPA transcription^[b]	English translation
I 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. Тарҷеъбанд: Зинда бош, эй Ватан, Тоҷикистони озоди ман! II 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. Тарҷеъбанд III 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. Тарҷеъбанд	I Diyori arjmandi mo, Ba baxti mo sari azizi tu baland bod, Saodati tu, davlati tu begazand bod. Zi duriyi zamonaho rasidayem, Ba zeri parchami tu saf kashidayem, kashidayem. Tarje’band: Zinda bosh, ey Vatan, Tojikistoni ozodi man! II Baroyi nomu nangi mo Tu az umedi raftagoni mo nishonayi‘, Tu bahri vorison jahoni jovidonayi‘, Xazon namerasad ba navbahori tu, Ki mazrayi vafo buvad kanori tu, kanori tu. Tarje’band III Tu modari yagonayi‘, Baqoyi tu buvad baqoyi xonadoni mo, Maromi tu buvad maromi jismu joni mo, Zi tu saodati abad nasibi most, Tu hastivu hama jahon habibi most, habibi most.

II 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. Chorus III 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. Chorus
