Afghanistan National Anthem

The lyrics to Afghanistan National Anthem describe the different cultures and beliefs of the country and it's people. It says Afghanistan is home to Baloochs, Uzbeks, Pashtoons, Hazaras, Turkman, Tajiks, Arabs, Gojars, Pamirian, Nooristanian, Barahawi, Qizilbash, Aimaq and Pashaye. Such a diverse country culminates all different cultures and ethnicities. The song also has a line that says "the land of peace, the land of sword". Much like the eagle on the back of our $1 bill, Afghanistan shares the same common goals of being both a land of peace but with the ability to fight. The song then goes on to describe Islam and Allah being the one god they shall follow forever.
