Lion and Sun Flag Anthem

The Lion and Sun Flag Anthem[a] (Persian: سرود پرچم شیر و خورشید ایران, romanized: Sorud-e parcham-e shir o khorshid-e Irân) was composed in 1933 during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi on his orders.[1][2] The lyrics were written by Abdolrahman Parsa Tuyserkani and prepared by the Literary Association of Iran ahead of Reza Shah's visit to Turkey.[3] It uses the same melody as the Imperial Anthem of Iran. The anthem was performed, sung, or played before the national anthem at scouting events, military ceremonies, or official state functions involving the raising of the Lion and Sun flag.

Lyrics

Persian original Romanization of Persian English translation

ای پرچم خورشید ایران
پرتو افکن بر روی این جهان
یادآور از آن روزگاری
کآسود از برق تیغت هر کران
در سایه‌ات جان می‌فشانیم
از دشمنان جان می‌ستانیم
ما وارث ملک کیانیم
همیشه خواهیم
وطن را از دل و جان

Ey parčam-e xoršid-e Irān
Partow-afkan bar ruy-e in jahān
Yād-āwar az ān ruzegāri
K'āsud az barq-e tiğat har karān
Dar sāye-at jān mi-feshānim
Az došmanān jān mi-setānim
Mā vāres-e molk-e Kiyān-im
Hamishah khwāhim
Vatan rā az del o jān

O flag of the sun of Iran,
Cast your light across this world
Remind us of those glorious days
When every frontier shone from the flash of your blade.
In your shadow we offer our lives
From our enemies we take their lives
We are heirs to the Kayanian kingdom
Forever shall we
Devote heart and soul to our homeland.
