Imperial State of Iran (1933-1979; Instrumental) Imperial Anthem of Iran

The "Imperial Anthem of Iran" (Persian: سرود شاهنشاهی ایران‎, lit. 'Sorude Šâhanšâhiye Irân'), also known by its opening line "Long Live our King" (Persian: شاهنشه ما زنده بادا‎, romanized: Shahanshah é ma zende bad), was the national anthem (also served as royal and flag anthem) of Iran from 1933 until the Islamic Revolution of 1979, when the Pahlavi monarchy was abolished.

(English Lyrics / 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,
Oh, may God protect him both now and evermore.
