National anthem of Afghanistan from 1973 to 1978) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tso če dā źməka asmān wī" (Pashto: څو چې دا ځمكه اّسمان وي, lit. 'So long as there is Earth and Heaven') was the national anthem of the Republic of Afghanistan from 1973 to 1978. In 1973, the Kingdom of Afghanistan was overthrown in a coup d'état and the Republic was established by Mohammad Daoud Khan, so the country began to formulate a new national anthem, because the second national anthem was a pure tribute to the king Mohammad Zahir Shah. In 1978, the Afghan military launched the Saur Revolution to overthrow the Republic, and the national anthem was abolished five years after its opening.[1][2]
