"'''{{lang|az|italic=no|Azərbaycan marşı}}'''" ({{IPA|az|ɑːzæɾbɑjˈdʒɑn mɑɾˈʃɯ|pron}}; {{lit|Azerbaijan  March}}) is the [[national anthem]] of [[Azerbaijan]]. The music was composed by [[Uzeyir Hajibeyov]], and the lyrics were written by poet [[Ahmad Javad]] or cultural figure and politician [[Jamo bey Hajinski]]. The [[Government of Azerbaijan|government]] officially adopted the anthem in 1920, with the passage of the decree, "On the State Hymn of the Republic of Azerbaijan".<ref name=natanthem>{{cite web|url=http://www.azerbaijan.az/portal/General/Symbols/stateSymbols_e.html|title=The National Symbols of the Republic of Azerbaijan|publisher=Heydar Aliyev Foundation|access-date=23 January 2015}}</ref> In 1992, after the [[fall of the Soviet Union]], Azerbaijan's government officially restored "{{lang|az|italic=no|Azərbaycan Marşı}}" as the national anthem.<ref name="mfa.gov.az">{{cite web|url=http://www.mfa.gov.az/files/file/12.pdf|title=Azərbaycan Respublikasının Dövlət himni haqqında|publisher=mfa.gov.az|access-date=3 December 2018}}</ref>
The Azerbaijan government has also officially declared the national anthem to be "the sacred symbol of the Azerbaijan state, its independence and unity."<ref name=natanthem />

In 1919, during the formation of the [[Azerbaijan Democratic Republic]], the new government announced it was accepting submissions from the public for a national anthem, coat of arms and state seal. A prize of 15,000 rubles would be awarded to the citizen who submitted the winning anthem.<ref name=zolta>{{cite web|title=History of creation of the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan|url=http://azerbaijans.com/content_654_en.html|website=azerbaijans.com|access-date=14 August 2014}}</ref>
Azerbaijani composer [[Uzeyir Hajibeyov]] wrote two marches. In 1919, this work received the first award announced by the government of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Əliyev|first1=Ilqar|title=Azərbaycan Respublikasınn Dövlət Rəmzləri.|date=2008|publisher=Nurlan|location=Baku|language=az}}</ref> The second march was the "March of Azerbaijan." According to Turkish musicologist Etem Üngör, "In those years, when Azerbaijan had not yet lost its independence, the march was chanted by military schools before lessons."<ref>{{cite book|title=Üzeyir bəy Hacıbəyov ensiklopediyası|trans-title=The Encyclopedia of Uzeyir Hajibeyov|date=1996|location=Baku|page=21|language=az}}</ref>
In 1922, the "{{lang|az|italic=no|Azərbaycan marşı}}" was replaced by the Soviet communist anthem "[[The Internationale]]". In 1944, during World War II, the new [[State Anthem of the Soviet Union|Soviet national anthem]] replaced "The Internationale" and an additional [[anthem of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic]] was installed.
In 1989, following several years of changes brought by ''[[perestroika]]'', composer Aydin Azimov arranged a modern recording of the anthem by a full symphony and chorus. That fall, "{{lang|az|italic=no|Azərbaycan marşı}}" was broadcast on television and radios in Azerbaijan, 70 years after it was introduced.<ref name=zolta />
===Post-Soviet restoration===
[[File:Stamps of Azerbaijan, 2011-991.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Azerbaijani postage stamp issued in 2011 with the lyrics of the national anthem]]
After the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], in spring 1992, the leaders of the independent Azerbaijani government proposed that the original anthem should be restored as the anthem of Azerbaijan. The [[National Assembly (Azerbaijan)|Milli Mejlis]] (National Assembly) signed it into law on 27 May 1992.<ref name="mfa.gov.az"/>

O triumphant motherland of children of heroes!
We are all ready to bestow our lives on thee!
We are fain to shed our very own blood for thee!
With the banner of three colors blessed be thou!
With the banner of three colors blessed be thou!
Thousands of lives were sacrificed,
Thy soul a battlefield became,
Of every soldier devoted,
Each one of them heroes became!
Blossom like a rose garden,
My life ever sworn to thee,
A thousand one loves for thee,
In my heart rooted deeply!
To stand on guard for thine honour,
Bearing aloft thy sacred flag;
To stand on guard for thine honour,
Eager be every youthful heir!
Glorious Homeland! Glorious Homeland!
Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!
Azerbaijan! Azerbaijan!</poem>

==Regulations==
Regulations for the performance of the national anthem are set forth in the law signed by President [[Heydar Aliyev]] in 1996. While a performance of the anthem may include only music, only words, or a combination of both, the anthem must be performed using the official music and words prescribed by law. Once a performance has been recorded, it may be used for any purpose, such as in a radio or television broadcast.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}}
==Musical adaptations==
