The "Grand Salute" (Pashto: لوی سلام‎, lit. 'Loya Salami'), also known by its incipit "Our Brave and Noble King" (Persian: ای شاه غیور و مهربان ما‎, romanized: Shāh-e ghayur-o mehrabān-e mā) was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Afghanistan from 1943 to 1973.^[1]

History[]

In 1943 during the reign of Amanullah Khan, the national anthem was adopted, and replaced the first national anthem without a title and a text. Because of the relationship to the king, it was replaced after his overthrow in 1973.
