The anthem used from 1946 to 1994. The music was composed by Suleiman Yudakov, and the lyrics were written by Abolqasem Lahouti. The melody is used in the current national anthem of Tajikistan, with different lyrics. It is composed in minor. In 1977, the lyrics were changed to remove mentions of Joseph Stalin. This is the version presented here for the Tajik stanzas, but the Russian version given here is the old one.[2]
Unlike other former Soviet states like Belarus, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan that appropriated their old Soviet-era regional anthems as national ones but did so without the Soviet lyrics, Tajikistan retained the Soviet lyrics for a time before replacing them in 1994.[2]
It is also one of the six countries to continuously use their Soviet-era anthems; the other five being Uzbekistan, Russia (since 2000), Kazakhstan (until 2006), Turkmenistan (until 1997), and Belarus.
Cu dasti Rus madad namud,

Mustaqil davlati Toçikon ʙarqaror şud.

،چو دست روس مدد نمود
،برادرئ خلق سوویت استوار شد
.ستارهٔ حیات ما شرارهبار شد
گذشتههای پرافتخار ما
به جلوه آمدند و در دیار ما، دیار ما
.مستقل دولت تاجیکان برقرار شد
به حال تب درون شب
صدای رعد دعوت لنین فرا رسید
ز برق بیرقش سیاهی ستم پرید
سعادت جاودان در این زمین
ز پارتیه به ما رسید، به پارتیه صد آفرین
.مرد آزاده مارا چنین نو بپرورید
شعار ما دهد صدا
.برابری، برادری میان جلق ما
،ز خاندان ما كسی نمیشود جدا
يگانگیرا به خود سپر كنیم
،به سوی فتح كمونیزم سفر كنیم، سفر كنیم
.زنده باد ملك ما، خلق ما، اتحاد ما
When Russia’s hand helped us
The brotherhood of the Soviet folk was formed
The star of our life was enlightened
Our glorious pasts
Came to vision and in our land, our land
The independent state of the Tajiks was established.
Being fevered in the night
Lenin’s invite, stormed
From the light of his flag, the darkness of oppression was gone
The eternal prosperity on this Earth
Was delivered to us from the Party, Well done to the Party
It’s the noble man, nurtured us so new
Our motto will rise
Equality, Brotherhood among our folk
From our family, no one will be left apart
We will make a shield of unity,
Toward the conquering of Communism we’ll travel on, we’ll travel on.
Long live our land, our folk, our union.
