The Imperial Salute was the national anthem of Iran from 1933 to until the revolution of 1979, when the anthem was abolished. Like the previous anthem (Salamatih Shah), it glorifies the Shah. It was composed by Lieut. Davood Najmi Moghaddam, and its lyrics was written by M. H. Afsar.

Imperial Salute
- 1
- Long live the Shah, our King of Kings,
- And may his glory make immortal our land.
- For Pahlevi improved Iran
- A hundredfold from where it once used to stand.
- Though once beset by the foemen's rage,
- Now it has peace in his keeping sure;
- We of Iran, rejoice in ev'ry age.
- Oh, may God protect him both now and evermore.
- 2
- Oh, Sun that shines on Iran's banner,
- Shed upon each nation rays strong and fair.
- Those days keep in our recollection
- When thy flashing sword brought peace everywhere.
- We give our lives in thy shade benign,
- And take the lives of each enemy.
- We are the heirs of Kianis' line;
- Oh, beloved land, ever wholly thine are we.
- 3
- Of Right we've been and still are champions.
- What is right is all we ever demand.
- Through worship of the King, we ever
- From the enemy will guard this our land.
- "Good Deeds" the first virtue of our call,
- "Good Thoughts" the light our hearts and minds to guide,
- And through "Good Speech" shining, one and all,
- This is Iran's fame that will echo far and wide.
