"Ey Irān" (RV7H+29V Bidokht, South Khorasan Province bidokht, 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

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

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]

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
