اي وطن اي مادر تاريخ ساز

اي مرا بر خاك تو روي نياز

اي كوير تو بهشت جان من

عشق جاويدان من ايران من

اي ز تو هستي گرفته ريشه ام

نيست جز انديشه ات انديشه ام

آرشي داري به تير انداختن

دست بهرامي به شير انداختن

Persian (/ˈpɜːrʒən, -ʃən/), also known by its endonym Farsi (فارسی, Fārsī, [fɒːɾˈsiː] (About this soundlisten)), is a Western Iranian language belonging to the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian subdivision of the Indo-European languages. Persian is a pluricentric language predominantly spoken and used officially within Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan in three mutually intelligible standard varieties, namely Iranian Persian (officially known as Farsi),[10][11] Afghan Persian (officially known as Dari since 1964)[12] and Tajiki Persian (officially known as Tajik since 1999).[2][13] It is also spoken natively in the Tajik variety by a significant population within Uzbekistan,[14][15][16] as well as within other regions with a Persianate history in the cultural sphere of Greater Iran. It is written officially within Iran and Afghanistan in the Persian alphabet, a derivation of the Arabic script, and within Tajikistan in the Tajik alphabet, a derivation of the Cyrillic script.
