Ey Reqîb (in Kurdish: ئه‌ی رەقیب) is the Kurdish national anthem.^[1] It was written by the Kurdish poet and political activist, Dildar in 1938, while in jail. "Ey Reqîb" means "Oh, Enemy" or "Hey Enemy", in reference to the jail guards in the prison where Dildar was held and tortured and who also symbolized the occupying countries of Turkey, Iraq and Syria.^[2] The song was originally written in Soranî-Kurdish but nowadays it is sung in both the Sorani and the Kurmancî-dialects. In 1946, the song was adopted as the official anthem of the Kurdistan Republic of Mahabad, a short-lived Kurdish republic of the 20th century in Iran that lasted for a year.^[3]

"Ey Reqîb" has been adopted by the Kurdistan Regional Government as the official national anthem of the federal south Kurdistan.^[4]

Oh, enemy! The Kurdish people live on, They have not been crushed by the weapons of any time Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag We are descendants of the red banner of the revolution Look at our past, how bloody it is Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag The Kurdish youth rise bravely, With their blood they colored the crown of life Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag We are the descendants of the Medes and Cyaxares Kurdistan is our religion, our credo, Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag The Kurdish youth are ready, it is prepared, To give their life as the supreme sacrifice Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag
