Tajikistan Flag

Flag History

The crown represents the Tajik people. The name is derived from tajvar, which means “crowned” In traditional Tajik culture the magic word “ seven” is a symbol of perfection, the embodiment of happiness, and the provider of virtue. According to Tajik legend, heaven is composed of seven beautiful orchards, separated by seven mountains each with a glowing star on the top. The red is a symbol of the sun and victory, the white stands for purity, cotton, and the snow on the mountains, and the green represents the spiritual meaning of Islam and the generosity of nature.

Anthem Lyrics

Surudi Milli (Song of the Nation)



Diori arjmandi mo


Ba bakhti mo sari azizi tu baland bod,


Saodati tu, davlati tu begazand bod.


Zi durii zamonaho rasidaem


Ba zeri parchami tu saf kashidaem, kashidaem


Zinda bosh ey Vatan, Tojikistoni ozodi man!


Baroi nangi nomi mo


Tu az umedi raftagoni mo nishonai


Tu bahri vorisoni jahon jovidonai,


Khazon namerasad ba navbahori tu,


Ki mazrai vafo buvad kanori tu, kanori tu


Zinda bosh ey Vatan, Tojikistoni ozodi man!


Tu modare yagonai,


Baqoi tu buvad baqoi khonadoni mo,


Maromi tu buvad maromi jismu joni mo.


Zi tu saodati abad nasibi most


Tu hastivu hama jahon habibi most, habibi most


Zinda bosh ey Vatan, Tojikistoni ozodi man!
