Hino do Irã (Sorude Mellije Džomhurije Eslamije Iran)

The song 'Hino do Irã (Sorude Mellije Džomhurije Eslamije Iran)' is the national anthem of Iran, a powerful and evocative piece that encapsulates the nation's pride, resilience, and revolutionary spirit. The lyrics begin with a reference to the dawn breaking in the east, symbolizing a new beginning and the rise of hope and enlightenment. This imagery is deeply rooted in Persian culture, where the east often represents the source of light and wisdom. The mention of 'Foruqe dideye haq bâvarân' (the light in the eyes of the believers) underscores the importance of faith and belief in the nation's identity and future.

The anthem continues by highlighting 'Bahman,' which refers to the month in the Persian calendar when the Islamic Revolution of 1979 took place. This revolution is a cornerstone of modern Iranian history, marking the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty and the establishment of the Islamic Republic. The phrase 'farre imâne mâst' (the glory of our faith) reflects the deep connection between the revolution and the nation's religious convictions. The call to 'Payâmat ey Emâm, esteqlâl, âzâdi' (Your message, O Imam, independence, freedom) is a direct tribute to Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, and the values of independence and freedom that the revolution sought to achieve.

The anthem also pays homage to the martyrs ('Shahidan') whose sacrifices are woven into the fabric of the nation's history. Their cries are said to echo through time, symbolizing their enduring legacy and the perpetual struggle for justice and freedom. The closing lines, 'Pâyande mâni o jâvedân, Jomhuriye Eslâmiye Irân' (You will remain eternal and everlasting, Islamic Republic of Iran), reaffirm the nation's commitment to its revolutionary ideals and its vision for a future grounded in these principles. This anthem is not just a song but a declaration of identity, resilience, and unwavering faith in the nation's path.
