"Death or Freedom"[a] was the national anthem of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, a former partially recognized separatist state in the North Caucasus, used between 1991 and 2000.

The music was composed in 1991 by either Ali Dimayev or Umar Beksultanov, and the lyrics were written by Abuzar Aydamirov.

Afterwards, "Death or Freedom" was officially replaced by the current Kadyrov-era State Anthem of the Chechen Republic.

Буьйсанна борз ехкаш дуьненчу девлла тхо, Ӏуьйранна лом угӀуш тхан цӀераш техкина.

𝄆 Аьрзонийн баннашкахь наноша дакхийна, Тархаш тӀехь дой хьийзон дайша тхо Ӏамийна.

Мокхазан ламанаш даш хилла лаларах, Дахарехь, къийсамехь яхь оха дӀалур яц!

𝄆 Бос Ӏаьржа ва латта молханах лелхарах, Тхешан сий доьхкина, тхо лаьтта доьрзур дац.

Тхо цкъа а цхьанненна къарделла совцур дац, «Ӏожалла, я маршо» — шиннех цхьаъ йоккхур ю?

Büysanna borz yexkaş dünençu dövlla txo, Jüyranna lom uġuş txan ċeraş texkina.

𝄆 Ärzoniyn bannaşkaẋ nanoşa daqiyna, Tarxaş theẋ doy ẋiyzon dayşa txo jamiyna.

Moqazan lamanaş daş xilla lalarax, Daxareẋ, q̇iysameẋ yaẋ oẋa djalur yac!

𝄆 Bos järƶa va latta molxanax lelxarax, Txeşan siy döxkina, txo lätta dörzur dac.

Txo ċq̇a a cẋannenna q̇ardella sovcur dac, «Joƶalla ya marşo» – şinnex cẋaə yoqqur yu!

𝄆 بویساننا بوٓرز یەخكاش دونەنچودەوللا دو، خالڨانا، ماخكانا، داللا ا موطاح دو، لا إله إلا الله!

We were born at night when the she-wolf whelped, In the morning, to lion's deafening roar, they named us There is no God except Allah 𝄆 In eagles' nests our mothers nursed us, To tame wild stallions on steep rocks our fathers taught us.

Sooner will cliffs of granite begin to melt like molten lead, Than any one of us shall lose our honour in life's struggles.

There is no God except Allah 𝄆 Sooner shall the Earth be swallowed up by the broiling sun, Than we emerge from a trial in life without our honour!

There is no God except Allah 𝄆 Our sisters heal our brothers' bloody wounds with their songs, Lovers' eyes will supply the strength of arms.

If hunger weaken us, we'll gnaw on the roots of trees, And if thirst debilitates us, we'll drink the dew from the grass!
