National Anthem- Tajikistan - Суруди Миллии
"Surudi Milli" is the national anthem of Tajikistan. It is one of the three official state symbols of the country, along with the national flag and coat of arms. It is derived from the anthem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic, composed by Sulaymon Yudakov in 1946.[1]

Sulaymon Yudakov, composer of the anthem.
Originally, the lyrics used in the Soviet Union were written by Abulqosim Lohutī. Even upon independence, unlike Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, Tajikistan retained the Soviet-era anthem. A few years later, the government decided to replace the old lyrics with a more appropriate version for independent Tajikistan. The current lyrics penned by Gulnazar Keldi, a poet from Sughd Region, were officially approved in September 1994.[2][1]
Keldi passed away from COVID-19 on 13 August 2020.[3]

Our beloved country,
Happy we are to see your dignity.
Forever may your joy and prosperity be.
We have reached this day since time immemorial;
Together aligned we stand under your flag, under your flag.
Long live my motherland,
My independent Tajikistan!
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.
Long live my motherland,
My independent Tajikistan!
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.
Long live my motherland,
My independent Tajikistan!
