"Ey Irân" (Template:Lang-fa, Template:IPA-fa) 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. This anthem was first performed by Gholam-Hossein Banan.

History

The song's history dates back to World War II in Iran. 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. 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.

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.

"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.

In 1990, Golnoush Khaleghi, 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.

English translation

O Iran, O precious border (country)
O country whose soil is birthplace of art and Honor
Devil's imagination cannot reach to your highness
You will always remain vigorous and deathless

O enemy, if you are a worthless stone, I am iron
My life is sacrificed for the homeland

(Refrain:)
Love for you is all life
you never leave my thought
In your way, my life is worthless
I hope the soil of our Iran will always remain eternal

A stone from your mountains is like a jewel
The soil of your plains is more valuable than gold
Love for you always remains in my heart
Tell me, how can I spend my life without your affection and love?
As long as the sky exists and everything is spinning (forever), God guides us

(Refrain)

Iran, O my green paradise, my destiny and fate are clearer and more obvious to you.
If I am in the hardest conditions and fire falls from the sky on me, nothing will remain in my heart except your affection and love
My existence (heart) has been mixed with your water, soil, affection, and love.
If your affection and love leave from within me, I will perish.

(Refrain)
