شاهنشاه ما زنده بادا
پايد کشور به فرش جاودان
کز پهلوی شد ملک ایران
صد ره بهتر زعهد باستان
از دشمنان بودی پریشان
در سايه اش آسوده ایران
ايرانیان پيوسته شادان
همواره يزدان بود او را نگهبان
ای پرچم خورشید ایران
پرتو افکن بر روی این جهان
یاد آور از آن روزگاری
کسود از برق تیغت بر کران
در سایه ات جان می فشانیم
از دشمنان جان می ستانیم
ما وارث ملک کیانیم
همیشه خواهیم وطن را از دل و جان
بودیم و هستیم پیرو حق
جز حق هرگز نخواهیم از جهان
با شاه پرستی مملکت را
داریم از دست دشمن در امان
ما پیرو کردار نیکیم
روشندل از پندار نیکیم
رخشنده از گفتار نیکیم
شده زین فضائل بلند آواز ایران
Šâhanšâhe mâ zende bâdâ

Sad rah behtar ze ahde bâsetân
Az došmanân budi parišân
Dar sâye aš âsude Irân

Ey parcame xoršide Irân
Partow afkan be ruye in jahân
Yâd âvar az ân ruzegâri

Dar sâye at jân mifešânim
Az došmanân jân misetânim

Hamiše xâhim vatan râ az del va jân.
Budim va hastim peyrove haq
Joz haq hargez naxâhim az jahân
Bâ šahparasti mamlekat râ

Mâ peyrove kerdâre nikim
Rowšandel az pendâre nikim
Raxšande az goftâre nikim
Šod zin fazâ'el bolandâvâze Irân.
Long live our King of Kings,
May the state endure forever through its "Farr",
Because the Pahlavis made the empire of Iran a
hundred times better than in ancient times,
Once because of the enemies in need,
under his protection Iran is now relieved ,
And the Iranians always happy,
God always be his protector.
O sun banner of Iran,
Cast a ray on the face of this world.
Remember that time when
the power of the sword pacified every land.
In your shadow we sacrifice life,
We take life from the enemy.
We are the heirs of the Keyan,
we always want to love the country with heart and soul.
We were and are keepers of justice,
we don't want anything in the world except justice .
With the worship of the Shah we keep the empire
safe from the hands of the enemy.
We live true to our old principle:
Good in thoughts,
words and works,
through which Iran achieved its greatness.
