Love Your Watan

[Watani]

I love songs which someone sings for his/her country, because it always shows love for the country those singers have. Please post video's of songs which have been sang for your country. I know the Pakistani National Anthem is in Dari as well plus I very well remember the song Dil Dil Pakistan, are there any other such songs you like to share? Anything else you like to tell is welcome as well.

Hoping you know Hindi / Urdu

This soulful number from the 1961 Hindi movie Kabuliwala. Based on a story written by Rabindranath Tagore about an Afghan in India. He's singing for his watan.

Khush aamadiid Watan Sahab.

A little correction if you wish to call it that - we tend to say our taraana is in Farsi. I know our Farsi is a lot closer to yours than to the iranians' but still we don't call it Dari.

Pakistan's national anthem is not in Dari. The lyrics are written in a highly Persianized form of Urdu. Every word in the entire anthem is a cognate with Persian except the word "ka" ( کا, "of" ). The anthem lasts for 1 minute and 20 seconds,[11] and uses twenty one musical instruments and thirty eight different tones.[9]

I also like Afghanistan's national anthem because they mention my tribe, Gojars, which by the way is a tribe that belongs to the Punjabi ethnic group.
