"Fortress of Islam, Heart of Asia" (Dari: قلعه اسلام قلب اسیا, romanized: Qal’a-ye islām, qalb-e Āsiya) is an Afghan mujahideen battle song composed in 1919 by Ustad Qasim. It was adopted as the national anthem of the Islamic State of Afghanistan from 1992 to 2006.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

History

During the late 1990s, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under the Taliban took control over most of Afghanistan from the UN-recognized government and ruled most of the country until late 2001. The Taliban outlawed music throughout the territory that they controlled, which consisted of most of the country. As such, most of Afghanistan practically was left without a national anthem during that time, until late 2001 when the Taliban was overthrown. The song was reintroduced by the new transitional government of Afghanistan in 2002;^[6] it remained such when the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was established in 2004 and was used by the latter until 2006.^[7]^[8]

Қалъаи Ислом, қалби Осиё,
Ҷовидон озод, хоки Ориё,
Зодгоҳи қаҳрамонони бузург,
Сангари разминда мардони Худо
Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар!

Теғи имонаш ба майдони ҷиҳод,
Банди истибдодро аз ҳам гусаст
Миллати озодии Афғонистон
Дар ҷаҳон занҷири маҳкуман шикаст.
Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар!

Ҳар хатти Қуръон низоми мо бувад,
Парчами имон ба боми мо бувад,
Ҳамсадову ҳамнаво бо ҳам равон,
Ваҳдати миллӣ мароми мо буд
Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар!

Шод зи, озод зи, обод зи,
Эй ватан дар нури қонуни Худо
Машъали озодигӣро бар фароз,
Мардоми саргуштаро шав раҳнамо.
Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар, Аллоҳу акбар!

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!

Arrow of her faith to the arena of Jihad,
Removing the chains 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 Qoran 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,
Lift the torch of freedom high,
Become a leader for the people who are oppressed,
God is great! God is great! God is great!^[10]
