Persian script UniPers Romanization IPA transcription

شاهنشه ما زنده بادا
پايد کشور به فرش جاودان
کز پهلوی شد ملک ایران
صد ره بهتر ز عهد باستان
از دشمنان بودی پریشان
در سايه‌اش آسوده ایران
ايرانیان پيوسته شادان
همواره يزدان بود او را نگهبان

ای پرچم خورشید ایران
پرتو افکن به روی این جهان
یاد آور از آن روزگاری
کآسود از برق تیغت بر کران
در سایه‌ات جان می‌فشانیم
از دشمنان جان می‌ستانیم
ما وارث ملک کیانیم
همیشه خواهیم وطن را از دل و جان

بودیم و هستیم پیرو حق
جز حق هرگز نخواهیم از جهان
با شه‌پرستی مملکت را
داریم از دست دشمن در امان
ما پیرو کردار نیکیم
روشندل از پندار نیکیم
رخشنده از گفتار نیکیم
شد زین فضائل بلندآوازه ایران

Šâhanšahe mâ zende bâdâ
Pâyad kešvar be faraš jâvedân
Kaz Pahlavi šod molke Irân
Sad rah behtar ze ahde bâsetân
Az došmanân budi parišân
Dar sâye-aš âsude Irân
Irâniyân peyvaste šâdân
Hamvâre Yazdân bovad u râ negahbân

Ey parcame xoršide Irân
Partow afkan be ruye in jahân
Yâd âvar az ân ruzegâri
Kâsud az barqe tiqat bar karân
Dar sâye at jân mifešânim
Az došmanân jân misetânim
Mâ vârese molke kiyânim
Hamiše xâhim vatan râ az del va jân

Budim va hastim peyrove haq
Joz haq hargez naxâhim az jahân
Bâ šâhparasti mamlekat râ
Dârim az daste došman dar amân
Mâ peyrove kerdâre nikim
Rowšandel az pendâre nikim
Raxšande az goftâre nikim
Šod zin fazâyel bolandâvâze Irân

English translation

Long live our King of Kings,
And may His glory make immortal our land
For Pahlavi improved Iran,
A hundredfold from where it once used to stand.
Though once beset by the foemen's rage,
Now it has peace in His keeping sure.
We of Iran, rejoice in every age,
O may God protect Him both now and evermore.

O Sun that shines on Iran's banner,
Shed upon each nation rays strong and fair.
Those days keep in our recollection
When thy flashing sword brought peace everywhere.
We give our lives in thy shade benign,
And take the lives of each enemy.
We are the heirs of Kayanid's line;
O beloved land, ever wholly thine are we.

Of Right we've been and still are champions.
What is right is all we ever demand.
Through worship of King, we ever
from the enemy will guard this our land.
"Good Deeds" the first virtue of our call,
"Good Thoughts" the light our hearts and minds to guide,
And through "Good Speech" shining, one and all,
'Tis the fame of Iran that shall echo far and wide.
