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, independence
and freedom on our souls engraved
O shahids, your fervent cries
resound every generation
Enduring, lasting and eternal
The Islamic Republic of Iran
