"Millī Surūd" (Persian: ملی سرود, lit. 'National Anthem'), or better known as『Amani Surūd』(Persian: سرود امانی, lit. 'Amani Anthem') was the first national anthem of the Kingdom of Afghanistan in 1926. It was composed and arranged by Khalid Rajab Bey, a Turkish professor at the School of Industry and Music who taught music in Kabul during the reign of King Amanullah Khan. It was played on state visits abroad by the then King Amanullah Khan.^[1] Although it is difficult to say whether it has become a national anthem in the modern sense. It does not have its own title or text. In 1943, it was replaced by a second national anthem.^[2]

Today, however, this song is used as the anthem of the Royal Afghan Government in Exile, with the lyrics of the poem Ali Bood, written by Rumi.^[3]
