English Lyrics
Upwards on the horizon rises the Eastern Sun,
The sight of the true Religion.
Bahman - the brilliance of our Faith.
Your message, O Imam, of independence and freedom
is imprinted on our souls.
O Martyrs! The time of your cries of pain rings in our ears.
Enduring, continuing, eternal,
The Islamic Republic of Iran.

The original and most popular national anthem (transliterated)
While not currently the official anthem, most Iranians still believe it to
be the national anthem and sing it outside of Iran.
Ey Iran ey marz-e por gohar
Ey khaa-kat sar chesh-mey-e honar
Dour az to andee-shey-e bad-aan
