Ey Iran Reached sixty
Ey Iran is often mistaken for being a present or previous
Iranian national anthem. It has only briefly had the de-facto
national anthem status. It was unofficially used in the
transitional period between the time of the Shah (deposed
February, 1979) until the adoption of the national anthem
of the Islamic Republic. Despite political opposition,
it found its way into the heart and soul of the people.
The lyrics were written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab in 1946,
the music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleghi, and it was
first performed by Gholam Hossein Banan. Gol-e-Golab was
inspired to write the song by patriotism. He has been
quoted to have said: "In 1944, the footsteps of the invading
armies in the streets were enough to rattle any patriot
and inspired me to write this anthem".
