"'" (, ) is the Kurdish national anthem and the official anthem of the autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The poem was written in 1938 by Dildar in Sorani.

History



It was written by the Kurdish poet and political activist, Dildar in 1938, while in jail. "Ey Reqb" meaning "O Enemy!" refers to the jail guards in the prison where Dildar was held and tortured but also the broader oppression of Kurds.

In 1946, the poem was adopted as the national anthem of the Kurdistan Republic of Mahabad, a short-lived Kurdish republic of the 20th century in Iran that lasted for a year. "Ey Reqb" has been adopted as the national anthem of Kurdistan Region and is also used by Kurdistan Workers' Party.

|Ey reqb her mawe qewm kurdziman,

Nayikn daner top zeman.

Kes nel kurd mirduwe, kurd znduw e,

Znduw e qet nanew alakeman.

Law kurd hestaye ser p wek dilr,

Ta be xwn nex bika tac jiyan.

Kes nel kurd mirduwe, kurd znduw e,

Znduw e, qet nanew alakeman.

me roley Mdya Keyxusrew n,

Dnman, ayinmian, her ntiman.

Kes nel kurd mirduwe, kurd znduw e,

Znduw e, qet nanew alakeman.

me roley reng sr orri n,

Seyr ke, xwnaw ye rabirdman.

Kes nel kurd mirduwe, kurd znduw e,

Znduw e, qet nanew alakeman.

Law kurd her hazir u amade ye,

Giyanfda ye, giyanfda, her giyanfda.

Kes nel kurd mirduwe, kurd znduw e,

Znduw e, qet nanew alakeman.

|Ey reqb her maye qewm kurd ziman

Naik danay bi top zeman.

Kes neb kurd dimirin, kurd jn dibin.

Jn dibin qet nakev ala kurdan.

Em xortn reng sor orein

Seyr bike xwna dyan me da rijand.

Kes neb kurd dimirin, kurd jn dibin.

Jn dibin qet nakev ala kurdan.

Em xortn Medya Keyxusrewin

Dn man ayman, her nitiman.

Dn man ayman, kurd Kurdistan.

Kes neb kurd dimirin, kurd jn dibin.

Jn dibin qet nakev ala kurdan.

Law kurd rabye ser p wek ran

Ta bixwn nexn bike tac jiyan.

Kes neb kurd dimirin, kurd jn dibin.

Jn dibin qet nakev ala kurdan.

Xortn nh tev hazir amade ne

Can fda ne can fda, her can fda.

Kes neb kurd dimirin, kurd jn dibin.

Jn dibin qet nakev ala kurdan.
