History

Due to the death of Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, Iran adopted its current anthem after a competition the following year.[3] 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 mehre khāvarān
forughe dideye haq bāvarān
Bahman, farre Imāne māst
Payāmat ey Emām, esteqlāl

Shahidān, picideh dar
gushe zamān faryādetān
Pāyandeh māni o jāvedān
Jomhuriye Eslāmiye Irān

English translation

The sun of the east 'long the horizon
the believers of truth, glim of vision
Bahman, the zenith of our faith
Your message, o Imam, liberty
and freedom on our souls engraved
O shahids, your fervent cries
resound every generation
Enduring, lasting and eternal
The Islamic Republic of Iran
