From the cradle of mountains where the wild winds cry Where the lion drank fire beneath an endless sky Rose the banners of bronze, rose the spears of flame And the earth itself trembled at the Persian name From Arya’s dust, from the rivers of old Came the bearers of iron, the keepers of gold Children of starlight, of horse and of stone Forging empires vast where no fear had grown King of all kings, crowned in eternal fire Voice of the heavens, of conquest and desire From dawn to dusk, from sea unto sea The throne of Persia stands in eternity Before the walls of Babylon rose high Before Sumeria mapped the sky When Annunaki walked in flame The stars first whispered Persia’s name In Babalonia’s towers of clay Where Marduk ruled the cosmic way The dragon’s eye, the lion’s cry Foretold the empire yet to rise O Perseus, shadow of legend and flame Whispered in myth, immortal in name A blade in the dark, a star in the storm The spirit of Persia in ancient form And Cyrus rose like the sun through sand With justice and iron he ruled the land Babylon opened, her gates in awe Before the world’s first written law He carried no chains, he shattered them all Raised mighty empires from ruinous fall Mercy and thunder in one royal hand The lion of lions, lord of the land King of all kings, crowned in eternal fire Voice of the heavens, of conquest and desire From dawn to dusk, from sea unto sea The throne of Persia stands in eternity Darius thundered, builder of stone Carving the mountains to shape his throne Roads through deserts, bridges through sky His empire stretched where eagles fly From Susa to Egypt, from Indus to Thrace His banners brought order, his laws gave grace The earth bent low to the hammering drum For Persia had spoken, and kingdoms were one Xerxes stormed like a breaker of waves Leading ten thousand from empire’s caves The sea itself bowed when his armies came The sun turned black beneath arrows of flame At Thermopylae’s fire, at Salamis’ roar The world beheld Persian war Though tides may turn and empires bend The fire of the East shall never end In Solomon’s temple of cedar and gold Ancient mysteries silently told Of eastern kings and sacred flame And Persia’s rise through deathless name Arya, Arya, land of fire Keeper of memory, conquest, desire From ancient blood to modern sky The soul of Persia will not die O Zarathustra, prophet of light Bearer of wisdom through endless night Teaching the balance of dark and flame Calling all mortals to truth and name Good thoughts, good words, good deeds align A law eternal, a truth divine Before the ages of kings and steel The sacred fire made spirit real And Rustam rode with tiger’s might A hero of thunder, endless fight His mace like mountains, wrath like storm A titan of legend in mortal form And Anahita, river queen Blessed the fields with silver sheen And Mithra watched with crimson star Guardian of oath and ancient war King of all kings, crowned in eternal fire Voice of heaven, of conquest and desire Stone upon stone, empire on pyre Persia ascends forever higher In Persepolis halls where pillars rise Still echoes hymns beneath dark skies Gold and lapis, ivory throne A city of gods carved out of stone Where envoys came from earth’s far end To witness the empire and bow and bend Bringing silver, horses, jade To immortal kings their tribute paid From Babylon’s rivers to Sumer’s dust From Marduk’s temples to empires of rust The old gods sleep but the fire remains Flowing eternal in Persian veins The forge of numbers, stars, and art The wisdom of ages, the scholar’s heart Astronomy, medicine, poetry’s breath Persia gave life where others knew death From Parthian riders with arrows of rain To Sassanid eagles on iron plain From Ctesiphon’s gates to Rome’s far scar The Persian fire, a deathless star Arya, Arya, eternal flame The earth remembers the Persian name Though empires fall and kingdoms fade The soul of Persia remains unafraid From dust to stars, from blood to sun The ancient story is never done For time may fade and flesh may fall But Persia endures beyond them all
