"Azərbaycan Marşı" (March of Azerbaijan) is the national anthem of Azerbaijan. The music was composed by the founder of modern Azerbaijani classical music, Uzeyir Hajibeyov, with lyrics written by the poet Ahmad Javad. It was officially adopted in 1919 during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and reinstated in 1992 after the country regained independence from the Soviet Union. The anthem is a powerful and patriotic piece that reflects the country's spirit and resilience.
