"Ey Reqîb" (ئهٔ ره‌قیب in Sorani) is sung by Kurdish nationalists as the Kurdish national anthem. It was written by the Kurdish poet Dildar in 1938, when he was in a Iranian jail. Ey Reqîb means literally "Hey Guardian", but nowadays the title is usually given in English as "Hey Enemy". The song was originally written in Soranî but is also sung in the Kurdish dialect of Kurmancî.

It is also the national anthem of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region of Iraq.

• In Arabic Alphabet:

• Latin script transliteration:

Ey raqîb her mawe qewmî kurd ziman,

Nay şikênê danerî topî zeman.

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe; kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.

Lawî kurd hestaye ser pê wek dilêr,

Ta be xuên nexşîn deka tacî jiyan.

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.

Ême roley Midya u Keyxusrewîn,

Dînman, ayînman her Nishteman

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.

Ême roley rengî sûr u şorişîn,

Seyrîke xuênawiya raburdûman.

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.

Lawî kurdî hazir u amadeye,

Giyan fîdane, giyan fîda, her giyanfîda.

Kes nelê Kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman

[edit] EY REQÎB (Kurmancî)

Ey reqîb her maye qewmê Kurdî ziman

Naşike u danaye topên zeman

Kes neben Kurd dimirin, kurd jin diven

Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan

Em xortên Medya u Keyxusrewin

Seyr bike xwîna diyan me da rijan

Kes neben Kurd dimirin, Kurd jin diven

Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan

Em xortên renge sor u şorişin

De xwin nexşîn bikin taca cihan

Kes nebe Kurd dimirin, Kurd Jin diven

Jin dive nakeve, Ala Kurdan

Lawên Kurd rabûne ser pêyan wek şêran

Dîn iman u ayin îman Kurd u Kurdistan

Kes neben Kurd dimirin, Kurd jin diven

Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan

Lawên Kurd tev hazir u amadene

Can fidane can fida tev can fida

Kes neben Kurd dimirin, Kurd jin diven

Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan

[edit] Oh Enemy! (English)

(Sometimes translated as "Hey Enemy")

Oh enemy, the Kurdish nation is alive, its language is yet spoken

It shall not be defeated by the weapons of any age

Let no one say Kurds are dead

Kurds are living

Kurds are living, their flag will never fall

We, the youth are the red colour of the revolution

Watch our blood that we shed on this way

Let no one say Kurds are dead

Kurds are living

Kurds are living, their flag will never fall

We are the children of Medes and Cyaxares

Both our faith and religion are our homeland

Both our faith and religion are Kurd and Kurdistan

Let no one say Kurds are dead

Kurds are living

Kurds are living, their flag will never fall

The Kurdish youth have risen like lions

To adorn the crown of life with blood

Let no one say Kurds are dead

Kurds are living

Kurds are living, their flag will never fall

The Kurdish youth are ever present and

Forever will be ready to sacrifice their lives

Sacrifice each life they have, each life they have!
