* We are the flowers of the smiling Iranian children
We consider our land like John
We must be wise and watchful
We must be capable of preserving Iran
Abad, Iran Be free, O Iran
Have mercy on us children, O Iran

Struck on your chest, your beautiful rose soil
The rose that laughed at her
In the morning and at dusk
