|<poem>O Iran, o bejeweled land
|<poem>O Iran, the land of gems abound,
O, your soil is the wellspring of the arts
O the wellspring of arts is your ground.
Far from you may the thoughts of evil be
Far from you may the thoughts of evil be,
May you remain lasting and eternal
Long may you last and eternal be.
O enemy, if you are of rock, I am of iron
O enemy, if you are of rock, I am of iron,
May my life be sacrificed for the pure soil of my motherland
May my life be sacrificed for my homeland's pure soil.


<small>'''Refrain:'''</small>
{{small|'''Refrain:'''}}
Since your love became my calling
Since your love became my calling,
My thoughts are never far from you
Never far are my thoughts from you.
𝄆 In your cause, when do our lives have value?
𝄆 In your cause, when do our lives have value?
May the land of Iran be eternal. 𝄇
Eternal may the land of Iran be. 𝄇


The stones of your mountains are jewels and pearls
The stones of your peaks are jewels and pearls,
The soil of your valleys are better than gold
Greater than gold are your valleys' soils.
When could I rid my heart of your affection?
When would I ever doff your ardor?
Tell me, what will I do without your affection?
Tell me what I'd do without your fervor?
As long as the turning of the earth and the cycling of the sky lasts
As long as the earth revolves and the sky cycles,
The light of the Divine will always guide us
The light of the Divine will always guide us.


<small>'''''Refrain'''''</small>
{{small|'''''Refrain'''''}}


Iran, o my beautiful paradise,
Iran, o my gorgeous paradise,
Bright is my destiny because of you
Bright is my destiny because to you.
Even if fire rains on my body,
Even if fire on my body rains,
I'll cherish naught but my love for you.
Only your love I'll flourish in my heart
I am made of your love, water and earth
I am made of your love, your waters and your earth,
If your love leaves my heart it will become earthen
If your love leaves my heart, empty it will become.

{{small|'''''Refrain'''''}}</poem>
|<poem>O Iran! O land of gems abound!
O the fountain of arts is thy ground.
May thine enemies' thoughts be afar,
May thou last forever and ever.
O enemy! If thou art made of rock, I am of steel.
May my life be sacrificed for my land's noble soil.

<small>'''Chorus:'''</small>
Thine affection is my passion,
Ne'er far is my rumination.
𝄆 For thee my life, how worthless and desperate it may be,
May our land of Iran eternal be! 𝄇

Gems and jewels make up thy mountains,
Richer than gold the soil of thy plains.
When would I ever doff thine ardour?
What would I do without thy fervour?
So long as the revolving earth and dynamic skies last,
Forever shall the Divine Light illuminate us.

<small>'''''Chorus'''''</small>

O Iran! O my heaven of glee!
Bright is my destiny because of thee.
Even if my body is burnt ablaze,
Only love for thee I shall appraise.
Thy waters, thy terrain and thy love forged my very earth,
Should thy love depart, desolate will my heart become.

<small>'''''Chorus'''''</small></poem>

"Ey Irān" (Persian: ای ایران, lit. 'O Iran!', pronounced [ʔej ʔiːˈɹɒːn]) is an Iranian patriotic song that serves as the country's unofficial national anthem. The music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleqi, and the lyrics were written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab.[1] This anthem was first performed by Gholam-Hossein Banan.[2]

History

[edit]

The song's history dates back to World War II.[3] In September 1941, Allied forces occupied Iran following an Anglo-Soviet invasion that overthrew Reza Shah. Hossein Gol-e-Golab was inspired to write a poem on Iranian nationalism when he saw Allied flags waving from an Iranian military barracks in Tehran.[4] One day, when visiting Tehran, Gol-e-Golab witnessed a heated conversation between a British soldier and an Iranian officer. When Gol-e-Golab recounted the incident, he wanted to write a poem to keep Iran and the Iranian spirit alive in it. Khaleqi decided to compose the song and Banan would sing the poem.[5]

Gol-e-Golab was inspired to write this song by his patriotism. He was quoted as saying:

In 1944, the footsteps of the invading armies in the streets were enough to rattle any patriot and inspired me to write this anthem. Professor Ruhollah Khaleqi wrote the music and despite all the political opposition, it found its way into the heart and soul of the people.[6]

"Ey Irān" served as the country's de facto national anthem for a brief period with the establishment of Iran's interim government following the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

Performances

[edit]

Its first performance was held for two consecutive nights on 27 October 1944 in the military primary school, performed by Banan on Istanbul Street. "Ey Irān" garnered a lot of popularity that listeners demanded its repetition; thus, it was renewed three times. The reception and impact of this anthem caused the then minister of culture to invite the musicians to the Sound Broadcasting Center to record a page of it and broadcast it daily on Radio Tehran.

After the Revolution of 1979, several people were imprisoned for collaborating in the preparation of this anthem, and singing it was considered a crime, but after a while, it was used to inspire soldiers in the Iran–Iraq War.[7]

In 1990, Golnush Khaleqi, the daughter of Ruhollah Khaleghi, who was in Tehran for the 25th anniversary of her father's death, re-arranged the anthem for orchestra, solo and group singing, which was released on the album May Nab by Sorush Publications. The monologue in this version is performed by Rashid Vatandust.[8]

Perso-Arabic script Latin script IPA transcription

ای ایران ای مرز پرگهر
ای خاکت سرچشمه هنر
دور از تو اندیشه بدان
پاینده مانی تو جاودان
ای دشمن ار تو سنگ خاره‌ای من آهنم
جان من فدای خاک پاک میهنم

:برگردان
مهر تو چون شد پیشه‌ام
دور از تو نیست اندیشه‌ام
در راه تو کی ارزشی دارد این جان ما 𝄇
𝄆 پاینده باد خاک ایران ما

سنگ کوهت در و گوهر است
خاک دشتت بهتر از زر است
مهرت از دل کی برون کنم
برگو بی‌مهر تو چون کنم
تا گردش جهان و دور آسمان به پاست
نور ایزدی همیشه رهنمای ماست

برگردان

ایران ای خرم بهشت من
روشن از تو سرنوشت من
گر آتش بارد به پیکرم
جز مهرت در دل نپرورم
از آب و خاک و مهر تو سرشته شد گلم
مهر اگر برون رود تهی شود دلم

Ey Irān ey marze por gohar
Ey xākat sarceshmeye honar

Sange kuhat dorr o govhar ast
Xāke dashtat behtar az zar ast
Mehrat az del key borun konam
Bargu bimehre to cun konam

Joz mehrat dar del naparvaram
Az āb o xāk o mehre to sereshteh shod gelam
Mehr agar borun ravad tohi shavad delam

English translation

O Iran, the land of gems abound,
O the wellspring of arts is your ground.
Far from you may the thoughts of evil be,
Long may you last and eternal be.
O enemy, if you are of rock, I am of iron,
May my life be sacrificed for my homeland's pure soil.

Refrain:
Since your love became my calling,
Never far are my thoughts from you.
𝄆 In your cause, when do our lives have value?
Eternal may the land of Iran be. 𝄇

The stones of your peaks are jewels and pearls,
Greater than gold are your valleys' soils.
When would I ever doff your ardor?
Tell me what I'd do without your fervor?
As long as the earth revolves and the sky cycles,
The light of the Divine will always guide us.

Refrain

Iran, o my gorgeous paradise,
Bright is my destiny because to you.
Even if fire on my body rains,
I'll cherish naught but my love for you.
I am made of your love, your waters and your earth,
If your love leaves my heart, empty it will become.

Refrain
