"Salute of the Sublime State of Persia" (Persian: سلامتی دولت علیه ایران, romanized: Salāmati-ye Dowlat-e 'Aliyye-ye Irān) was the national anthem of Iran between 1909 and 1933. It replaced the earlier anthem, "Royal Salute", during the Persian Constitutional Revolution and served as Iran's national anthem until it was replaced by "Imperial Anthem of Iran" in 1933.
History
The sheet music for the anthem was first published as the "National March of Iran" (French: Marche Nationale Persane) on July 9, 1909, a few days after the entrance of the constitutionalists into Tehran.[1] The anthem was played at the coronation of Ahmad Shah Qajar in 1914, and its sheet music was published in the newspaper Asr-e Jadid in 1915.[2]
This anthem was replaced with Imperial Anthem of Iran during the reign of Reza Shah.
In 2015, Persian composer Peyman Soltani used the music of this anthem for his song "Motherland" (Persian: سرزمین مادری, romanized: Sarzamine Mādari), which began with the lyrics:[3]
عشقِ من ای سرزمین مادری (Eshqe man ey sarzamine madari)
My love, oh my beloved motherland,
جان ریشه کرد در میانِ خاکِ تو (Jane rishe kard dar miyane khake to)
Life is rooted amid thy domain
