"So Long as There Is Earth and Heaven" (Pashto: څو چې دا ځمكه آسمان وي) 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]

So long as there is Earth and Heaven;
So long as the world is populated;
So long as there is life in the world;
So long as there exists a single Afghan;
There will always be this Afghanistan.
Long live the Afghan nation!
Long live the Republic!
Long live our national unity!
Long live the Afghan nation and the Republic!
Long live the Afghan nation, the Republic;
And our national unity — national unity!
