Imperial Anthem of Iran

The Imperial Anthem of Iran, also known by its incipit "Long Live our King of Kings", was the royal anthem (stanza 1) of Iran from 1933 until the Iranian Revolution of 1979, when the monarchy was abolished.

Its tune, when set to a different respective set of lyrics, also simultaneously served as both the country's national (stanza 3) and flag anthem (stanza 2). This anthem was composed by the order of Reza Shah, with lyrics written by Sheikh Afsar (stanza 1) and Abdolrahman Parsa Tuyserkani (stanza 2) and prepared by the Literary Association of Iran ahead of Reza Shah's visit to Turkey.
