The State Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan was officially approved on 10 December 1992 under Law "On the State Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan" by the
Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Previously, there had been many attempts at creating a national anthem with new lyrics for Uzbekistan upon independence from the Soviet Union; the version written by well-known composer
Abdulla Oripov was officially chosen in completion of the new national anthem. In his speech on 14 April 2020, dedicated to measures to combat the
COVID-19 pandemic in Uzbekistan,
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev quoted a part of Oraz Abdurazakov's translation: "The National Anthem contains such profound lines: 'The power of ancestors, their glory is forever with you! The spirit of great people is rightfully given to us.'" == Lyrics ==
