"Ey Irān" (ای ایران, 'O Iran') is an Iranian patriotic song that serves as the country's unofficial national anthem.

[4] One day, when visiting Tehran, Gol-e-Golab witnessed a heated conversation between a British soldier and an Iranian officer.

Professor Ruhollah Khaleqi wrote the music and despite all the political opposition, it found its way into the heart and soul of the people.

[6]"Ey Irān" served as the country's de facto national anthem for a brief period with the establishment of Iran's interim government following the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

After the Revolution of 1979, several people were imprisoned for collaborating in the preparation of this anthem, and singing it was considered a crime, but after a while, it was used to inspire soldiers in the Iran–Iraq War.

[7] In 1990, Golnush Khaleqi, the daughter of Ruhollah Khaleghi, who was in Tehran for the 25th anniversary of her father's death, re-arranged the anthem for orchestra, solo and group singing, which was released on the album May Nab by Sorush Publications.

سنگ کوهت در و گوهر است خاک دشتت بهتر از زر است مهرت از دل کی برون کنم برگو بی‌مهر تو چون کنم تا گردش جهان و دور آسمان به پاست نور ایزدی همیشه رهنمای ماست

ایران ای خرم بهشت من روشن از تو سرنوشت من گر آتش بارد به پیکرم جز مهرت در دل نپرورم از آب و خاک و مهر تو سرشته شد گلم مهر اگر برون رود تهی شود دلم

Sange kuhat dorr o gowhar ast Xâke daštat behtar az zar ast Mehrat az del key borun konam Bargu bimehre to čun konam Tâ gardeše jahân o dowre âsemân be pâst Nure izadi hamišeh rahnamâye mâst

Irân ey xorram behešte man Rowšan az to sarnevešte man Gar âtaš bârad be peykaram Joz mehrat dar del naparvaram Az âb o xâk o mehre to serešteh šod gelam Mehr agar borun ravad tohi šavad delam
