The "Grand Salute" (Pashto: لوی سلام, lit. 'Loya Salami'), also known by its incipit "Our Brave and Noble King" (Persian: ای شاهِ غیور و مهربانِ ما, romanized: Schahe ghajur-o-mehrabane ma) was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Afghanistan from 1943 to 1973. The song was officially launched in 1943 and replaced the first national anthem, composed during the reign of Amanullah Khan. In 1973, the kingdom was overthrown in a coup d'état, and the song was also abolished.[1][2]
