The Anthem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic was the anthem of Tajikistan when it was part of the Soviet Union. The lyrics were written by Abolqasem Lahuti. The music was composed by Suleiman Yudakov in 1946, the year it was adopted.
The melody is retained in the current national anthem of Tajikistan, done in the same manner as Belarus and Uzbekistan.
Post-Stalinist lyrics
Tajik original
English translation
When Russia's hand supported us, The guild of the Soviet folk was created, The star of our life was enlightened. Oh, our pasts with effulgence filled Came to vision into our land, our homeland. An independent state of the Tajik folk was formed.
Feverishness during the night
The thunderous roar of Lenin's summon sounded
From the glow of his flag, there the dark oppression went
The eternal happiness that lieth upon this Earth
Was delivered to us from the Party of hundred creations, hundred creations. Like a father who fought for and nurtured us anew.
Our motto shall call to us
Equality, fraternity among our folk
From our family no one shall break apart
We shall craft a shield of unity
Toward communist victory we'll travel on, we'll travel on. Long live our land, our folk, our union.

When Russia's hand supported us, The guild of the Soviet folk was created, The star of our life was enlightened. Oh, our pasts with effulgence filled Came to vision into our land, our homeland. An independent state of the Tajik folk was formed.
Feverishness during the night
The thunderous roar of Lenin's summon sounded
From the glow of his flag, there the dark oppression went
The eternal happiness that lieth upon this Earth
'Twas since this time that we've reached good ol' Stalin, good ol' Stalin
Like a father who fought for and nurtured us anew.
In our tradition, under our epoch
No one is spared with indignant hostility. For we are inseparable from the Union We shall craft a shield of unity Against the enemies we shall always triumph, always triumph! Long live our land, our age, our union.
