Audio sample
Instrumental rendition in E minor.

"Ey Irân"[a] is an Iranian patriotic song that serves as the country's de facto 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

People singing Ey Iran at Oberhausen Arena in March 2014

The song's history dates back to World War II in Iran.[3] In September 1941, the Allied Forces occupied the country following the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran. The idea of this poem inspired the poet when he saw the Allied flags waving from the military barracks and the deplorable situation of the country.[4] One day when visiting Khaleqi, Gol-e-Golab witnessed a clash between two Iranian and British soldiers. 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 Irân" 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 Irân" 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 Khaleqi, 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]

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

O Iran, o bejeweled land
O, your soil is the wellspring of the arts
Far from you may the thoughts of evil be
May you remain lasting and eternal
O enemy, if you are of rock, I am of iron
May my life be sacrificed for the pure soil of my motherland

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

The stones of your mountains are jewels and pearls
The soil of your valleys are better than gold
When could I rid my heart of your affection?
Tell me, what will I do without your affection?
As long as the turning of the earth and the cycling of the sky lasts
The light of the Divine will always guide us

Refrain

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

Refrain

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.

Chorus:
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.

Chorus

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,
