سوله او وروري غواړو

موږه زيارايستونکو ته

پراخه آزادي غواړو

موږ ورته ډوډۍ غواړو

The red road of courage,

And the pure road of brotherhood.

Our revolutionary homeland

Is now in the hands of the workers.

The legacy of the lions

Now belongs to the peasants.

The age of oppression has elapsed,

The turn of the labourers has come.

Among the nations of the world, we

Want peace and brotherhood.

For the proletariat, we

Demand full freedom.

For them, we demand food,

Housing and clothes.
