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, after Japan's anthem, "Kimigayo", with seven lines.

Lyrics

Original Persian

سر زد از افق مهر خاوران

فروغ دیده‌ی حق باوران

بهمن فر ایمان ماست

پیامت ای امام، استقلال،

آزادی، نقش جان ماست

شهیدان، پیچیده در گوش زمان فریادتان

پاینده مانی و جاودان

Romanised

Sar zad az ofoq mehre xāvarān,

Foruqe dideye haq bāvarān.

Bahman, farre Imāne māst.

Payāmat ey Emām, esteqlāl, āzādi, naqše jāne māst.

Šahidān, pičide dar guše zamān faryādetān.

Pāyande māni yo jāvedān.

Jomhuriye Eslāmiye Irān!

English

Upwards on the horizon rises the Eastern Sun,

The light in the eyes of the believers in truth,

Bahman is the zenith of our faith.

Your message, oh Imam, of independence, freedom, is imprinted on our souls.

Oh Martyrs! Your clamors echo in the ears of time.

Enduring, continuing, and eternal.

The Islamic Republic of Iran!
