The National Anthem of the Islamic Republic of Iran[a][1] was adopted in 1990, replacing the previous anthem used during the rule of Ruhollah Khomeini.[2] It was composed by Hassan Riyahi, and the lyrics were written by Sayed Bagheri. It is the fourth national anthem of Iran overall.[3]

History

Due to the death of Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, Iran adopted its current anthem after a competition the following year.[4] At the time of its adoption, it was the second shortest anthem in the world; the first being Japanese national anthem "Kimigayo" of seven lines.

سر زد از افق مهر خاوران
فروغ دیده‌ی حق‌باوران
بهمن فر ایمان ماست
پیامت ای امام «استقلال، آزادی» نقش جان ماست
شهیدان پیچیده در گوش زمان فریادتان
پاینده مانی و جاودان
جمهوری اسلامی ایران

Sar zad az ofoq mehr-e khāvarān
forugh-e dide-ye haq bāvarān
Bahman farr-e Imān-e māst
Payāmat ey Emām "esteqlāl, āzādi" naqsh-e jān-e māst
Shahidān pichide dar gush-e zamān faryādetān
Pāyande māni o jāvedān
Jomhuri-ye Eslāmi-ye Irān

Upwards on the horizon rose the Eastern Sun
The light in the eyes of the Believers in Justice
Bahman[b] is the zenith of our faith.
Your message, O Imam, of Sovereignty and Freedom is imprinted on our souls
O Martyrs! Your shouts echo in the ears of time:
Be enduring, continuing, and eternal,
The Islamic Republic of Iran.
