Talk:National anthem of Afghanistan/Archive 1

message: What country are we talking about?  And could we format this a bit if we're going to keep it? -- Zoe
I believe there is no real "title" to the anthem of Afghanistan. From what I've learnt, "Sououd-e-Melli" simply means "National Anthem". Anyway, the lyrics presented here is already out of use. A new anthem has been adopted since the interim government took over and the authorities may change it again in the recent future. Situation is till rather volatile. -- Pilotjj1
I added in a link to a page about the anthem at the MRRD website.  You can listen to the anthem there. Inkan1969 08:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There has been no explanation of LIDICITY so far.  The one who posted those links was anonymous.  I think then I can delete the LIDICITY section.Inkan1969 17:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Who added those Lidicity links again?  The person adding them was anonymous.  This anonymous person still did not explain what those links mean.  Further, this person wrote the links as "impudent".  What that meant as an insult to me for deleting the old links?  Whomever added those links, please explain yourself.  Is this a case of vandalism?

replies: text:  There is still no explanation.  So I'm taking the links off. Inkan1969 18:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  LIDICITY? 

message: I googled "Soroud-e-Melli" and I only found Wikipedia links and Wikipedia mirrors, so I guess  that means the national anthem doesn't have a title.  But since Soroud-e-Melli does mean National anthem in Persian/?Pashto, it would be an appropriate title.  But the title of the article is "Sououd-e-Melli" which isn't right, and I think it should be moved to Soroud-e-Melli (which is now a redirect to this article).

replies: text: The only title that I know of is "The National Anthem of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan." Also, I think the anthem has changed, again, since I got a CD in the mail that is the "current anthem," which was writte by Abdul Bari Jahani and the music created by Babrak Wassa.

replies: text:  Zscout, are the lyrics posted here the lyrics written by Abdul Bari Jahani?   The lyrics are definitely the lyrics of the anthem that is at the mrrd website link.   I went to places like nationalanthems.us and they seemed to think that these are Jahani's lyrics?  Who's Suliman Masood Watanyar?  You said you have the CD.  Is the song on the CD different from the song at the mrrd link?  I mean the link's MP3 file, not the written lyrics which like I said are wrong. Inkan1969 20:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

text:  Also, Zscout, I restored the mrrd website link.  The link is not 404.  I just went there and it worked fine.  Try http://www.mrrd.gov.af/Afghanistan%20National%20Anthem/National%20Anthem.htm if you can't get the link to work.Inkan1969 21:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also am a member of nationalanthems.us (check me under the name zscout370 there); and I decided to take up on the offer and paid 15 USD for the anthem CD. I can confirm that the mp3 file that is on the website of the MRRD is the same as on my CD (Track 4). But with the CD, few information was given in English and a lot of it was printed in Arabic (which I cannot read). As for who is Watanyar, I have done some research and nothing comes up, so I will remove his name from the article. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 03:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The link to the CD is at . Honestly, it is a pretty good CD, well made, well worth the money spent on it. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 03:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

text:  Ah, good, so the mp3 file really is the new National Anthem.  The transliteration in the Wiki entry definitely matches the mp3 file.  These must be Jahani's lyrics. Inkan1969 17:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is the Arabic language text correct? User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 01:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know, but I'm sure that's not Arabic, that's Pashto language.  The Anthem was written in Pashto, and Pashto is one of many languages written in Arabic Script.  The writing on your CD is likely Pashto or Dari as well. Inkan1969 19:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, then it is Pashto. But from what I seen so far, the lyrics have not been printed in the booklet, though most of it was based on the anthem creation, history and a piece about the Rhapsody Afghanica. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 01:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
