Translation:
Upwards on the horizon rises the Eastern Sun,
The light in the eyes of the believers in truth.
Bahman is the brilliance of our faith,
Your message, O Martyr, of honor is our language.
Be glorious, love and duty sustain your land,
O Fatherland, may your land endure forever.
Enduring, vivid and alive,
Independence, Freedom, Islamic Republic!

• When the sweeping orchestral opening notes begin, Team Melli supporters fill the stands with an intense, focused energy, lifting massive green, white, and red flags across the stadium. The absolute peak of the noise hits during the final, booming declaration of "Esteglal, Azadi, Jomhouri-ye Eslami" (Independence, Freedom, Islamic Republic), where tens of thousands of voices unite to echo the defining slogan of the nation's modern era. Adopted in 1990 to replace the post-revolution anthem, this concise piece features a majestic melody composed by Hassan Riyahi and lyrics by Saed Bagheri, specifically structured to deliver a short, high-impact vocal burst from the crowd just seconds before the match starts.
