Since Darya's television debut on Afghanistan's television network in 1980, he has released over two dozen albums.
He founded a band, Goroh-e-Baran (meaning "Rain Band") with Asad Badie, which became one of the best known Afghan bands in the 1980s.
Throughout his career Darya has sold over 2 million copies of albums – the acclaimed ones produced in exile, many of which deal with the Soviet–Afghan War and the resulting misfortunes of the war-torn nation.
Most of the music is aimed at helping Afghans bringing peace and unity to their country, and deals with themes of national unity.

He released his Salaam Afghanistan album in 2003, with a DVD release of music videos in March 2004.

In September 2006, Darya's new single Salamalek in a collaboration with German musician Peter Maffay was released, as part of Maffay's album Begegnungen – Eine Allianz für Kinder.
It was Darya's first rock song.

In August 2007, Darya completed his new album HA!
and was released in Afghanistan, followed by Germany in March 2008.
The video of his song Dohle Bezan (Nazdeek Shodan) (Talk To Me/Closer) from the album HA!
premiered on Afghan's national television in February 2008.
Later that year, Darya's new album Yahoo was released.

He has not worked on a new album since, although has released several singles, including Attan, Dew Hai Mast, Nashkenad and Oo Ghaita.
