Milli Tharana (Pashto for "National Anthem") is the national anthem of Afghanistan. It was adopted and officially announced in May 2006. According to article 20 of the Constitution of Afghanistan, "The national anthem of Afghanistan shall be in Pashto with the mention of "God is Greatest" as well as the names of the ethnicities of Afghanistan."[1] The lyrics were written by Abdul Bari Jahani and the music was written by Babrak Wassa. However, in an IWPR article, Jahani has expressed concerns about the rules laid out in the Constitution, that the rules will encourage ethnic faultlines and that setting "Allahu Akbar" to music is inappropriate.

دا وطن افغانستان دی دا عزت د هر افغان دی

کور د سولی کور د توری هر بچی یی قهرمان دی

دا وطن د تولو کور دی د بلوچو د ازبکو

د پشتون او هزاره وو د ترکمنو د تاجکو

ورسره عرب، گوجر دی پامیریان، نورستانیان

براهوی دی، قزلباش دی هم ایماق، هم پشه ییان

دا هیواد به تل زلیژی لکه لمر پرشنه آسمان

په سینه کی د آسیا به لکه زره وی جاویدان

نوم د حق مودی رهبر وایو الله اکبر وایو الله اکبر

Da watan Afghanistan di, da ezzat de har Afghan di
Kor de soli kor də tori, har bachi ye qahraman di
Da watan di tolo kor di, də Balocho, de Uzbako
Də Pashtun aw Hazarawu, də Turkmano de Tajeko
Worsara Arab, Gojar di, Pamiriyan, Noristaniyan
Barahawi di, Qizilbash di, ham Aimaq, Pashaiyan
Da hiwad ba til zaligi, laka limar pa eshna asman
Pa sina ki de Asiya, laka zera wi jawidan
Num de haq mo di rahbar, wayu Allah o Akbar, wayu Allah o Akbar
This land is Afghanistan, it is (the) pride of every Afghan
The land of peace, the land of sword, its sons are all brave
This is the country of every tribe, Land of Baluch and Uzbeks
Pashtuns and Hazaras, Turkmen and Tajiks
With them, Arabs and Gujjars, Pamirian, Nuristanian
Brahawi, and Qizilbash, also Aimaq and Pashai
This land will shine for ever, like the sun in the blue sky
In the chest of Asia, it will remain as heart for ever
We will follow the one God
We all say, "Allah is greatest!", we all say, "Allah is greatest!"
