Imperial State of Iran

Anthem

Name: Imperial Salute

Date Adopted: 1933

Lyrics:

(Persian)

Šâhanšâh mâ zendeh 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
Irâniân peyvase šâdân
Hamvâreh Yazdân bovad urâ negahbân

Ey parchame xoršide Irân
Parto afkan bar ruye in jahân
Yâd âvar az ân ruzegâri
Kesud az barghe tighat bar karân
Dar sâyeh at jân mifešânim
Az došmanân jân misetânim
Mâ vârese molke kiânim
Hamišeh xâhim vatan râ az del va jân.

Budim va hastim peyroe hagh
Joz hagh hargez naxâhim az jahân
Ba šah parasti mamlekat râ
Dârim az daste došman dar amân
Mâ peyroe kerdâre nikim
Rošandel az pendâre nikim
Raxšandeh az goftâre nikim
Šodeh zin fazâel boland âvâze Irân.

(English)

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
Oh, may God protect him both now and evermore

Oh, 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 Kianis' line;
Oh, 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 the 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,
This is Iran's fame that will echo far and wide.

Flag

Date Adopted: 1925

Description: The flag of the Imperial State of Iran has a tricolor flag, with the colors green, white, and red. Reza Shah was crowned in 1925 and founded the Imperial State of Iran (also known as thePahlavi Dynasty) and parliament designed a new flag. First a Civil Flag, like the 1906 flag, but with a different ratio. The 1925 flag also bears the addition of a crown hovering over the lions head, symbolizing the monarchy, and a ribbon for the lion to stand over. Second, an official flag for the Shah, with a cluster of wheat to mark peace and a crown to mark monarchy.These flag lasted until the Iranian Revolution in 1979.The many historical meanings of the emblems, while providing a solid ground for its power as the national emblem of Iran, have also provided a rich ground for competing symbols of Iranian identity. One important campaign to abolish the emblem was initiated by Mojtaba Minuvi in 1929. In a report prepared at the request of the Iranian embassy in London, he insisted that the lion-and-sun is Turkic in origin. He recommended that the government replace it with Derafsh-e-Kaviani: "One cannot attributed a national historical story to the lion-and-sun emblem, for it has no connection to ancient pre-Islamic history; there is no evidence that Iranians designed or created it.... We might as well get rid of this remnant of the Turkish people and adopt the flag that symbolizes our mythical grandeur, that is Derafsh-e-Kaviani". His suggestion was ignored. The symbol was challenged during World War I too, while Taqizade was publishing the Derafsh-e-Kaviani newspaper in Berlin. In his newspaper, he argued that the lion and sun is neither Iranian in origin nor very ancient as people assume. He insisted that the lion and sun should be replaced by the more Iranian symbol of Derafsh-e-Kaviani.
