Garam shah lā garam shah (transl. "Become hot, become more hot") was the national anthem of Afghanistan between 1978 and 1992 during the socialist rule.[1]
The music was the work of Jalīl Ghahlānd and was arranged by Ustad Salim Sarmast,[2] and the lyrics were by the poet Sulaiman Layeq[3] on behalf of the government of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) headed by Nur Muhammad Taraki, who decided to change the national symbols after the Saur Revolution of 1978.
Like many national anthems, it was sometimes sung abbreviated, using only the chorus and the first stanza.
