## The national anthem

"Surudi Milli" is the national anthem of Tajikistan, officially adopted in 1991. The lyrics were written by Gulnazar Keldi and the music by Suleiman Yudakov, the same melody from the Anthem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. Note the Cyrillic script is the only official script of the country and the Perso-Arabic script is not well known in the country itself and is just provided as a comparison to the Tajik language since it is a dialect of Persian.
Lyrics:
| Tajik Cyrillic script (official) | Transliteration |
| Диёри арҷманди мо, Ба бахти мо сари азизи ту баланд бод, Саодати ту, давлати ту бегазанд бод. Зи дурии замонаҳо расидаем, Ба зери парчами ту саф кашидаем, кашидаем.   Зинда бош, эй Ватан,   Тоҷикистони озоди ман! Барои ному нанги мо Ту аз умеди рафтагони мо нишонаӣ, Ту баҳри ворисон ҷахони ҷовидонаӣ, Хазон намерасад ба навбаҳори ту, Ки мазраи вафо бувад канори ту, канори ту.   Зинда бош, эй Ватан,   Тоҷикистони озоди ман! Ту модари ягонаӣ, Бақои ту бувад бақои хонадони мо, Мароми ту бувад мароми ҷисму ҷони мо, Зи ту саодати абад насиби мост, Ту ҳастиву ҳама ҷаҳон ҳабиби мост, ҳабиби мост.   Зинда бош, эй Ватан,   Тоҷикистони озоди ман! | Diyori arjmandi mo Ba baĉti mo sari azizi tu baland bod, Saodati tu, davlati tu begazand bod. Zi duriyi zamonaho rasidayem, Ba zeri parčami tu saf kašidayem, kašidayem.   Zinda boš, ey Vatan,   Tojikistoni ozodi man! Baroyi nomu nangi mo Tu az umedi raftagoni mo nišonayī, Tu bahri vorison jahoni jovidonayī, Ĉazon namerasad ba navbahori tu, Ki mazrayi vafo buvad kanori tu, kanori tu.   Zinda boš, ey Vatan,   Tojikistoni ozodi man! Tu modari yagonayī, Baqoyi tu buvad baqoyi ĉonadoni mo, Maromi tu buvad maromi jismu joni mo, Zi tu saodati abad nasibi most, Tu hastivu hama jahon habibi most, habibi most.   Zinda boš, ey Vatan,   Tojikistoni ozodi man! |
