[Intro]
From mountain heights there soundeth forth a cry,
Within our hearts a fervent flame doth lie,
For fatherland one breath, one soul we raise —
Live thou, O Iran, in deathless praise!

[Verse 1]
The Aras swift in ardent course doth glide,
The Caspian roareth in its swelling tide,
This sacred soil, a tale of ages long,
With valour crown’d in every song.

O’er Alborz peaks the golden sun doth rise,
And hope in every distant corner lies,
One folk are we beneath one banner sworn,
By honour bound, by destiny adorn’d.

[Pre-Chorus]
Arise, arise, O valiant nation bold!
Thy name in chronicles of time is told!
Our unity our fortress standeth fast,
Unshaken faith from first unto the last!

[Chorus]
Pâyəndəh Iran! — let voices ring!
Javid Shah! — let burning hearts now sing!
One land, one folk, one dream we claim,
A freer morrow ours by flame!

Pâyəndəh Iran! — eternal light!
Javid Shah! — our crown of might!
Let the tricolour standard brave the sky,
Long live the land that shall not die!

[Verse 2]
From Tabriz fair to Shiraz’ fragrant air,
Kurd, Lor, and Gilak standing there,
Hand in hand in solemn vow proclaim:
This soil our honour, our sacred name.

From desert vast to mountain high,
From town to village rings the cry:
One heart within our breasts doth beat,
Belovèd Iran, in thee complete.

[Bridge]
With blood inscribed our storied past,
With glory bright that aye shall last,
An undying flame forever burns,
To love of land our spirit turns.

[Final Chorus]
Pâyəndəh Iran! — let echoes rise!
Javid Shah! — where passion flies!
Let all the world this truth behold:
This land endureth, proud and bold!

Pâyəndəh Iran! — thou noble shore!
Javid Shah! — our love evermore!
Beneath one flag our oath we cry:
Live Iran — eternally!
