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.

O sun of freedom, O sun of good fortune. We through the storm Have come to the end of the road. We have also traversed the paths of darkness, Also the way of light. The red road of victory, The pure path of brotherhood. Become hot, ... Our revolutionary homeland Is now in the hands of the workers. The inheritance of lions Now belongs to the peasants. The age of tyranny has passed, The turn of the labourers has come. Become hot, ... We want peace and brotherhood Between the peoples of the world. We demand more freedom For all who toil. We want bread for them, We want houses and clothes.
