Ey Reqîb
Categories: Song stubs | Kurds | Patriotic songs
"Ey Reqib" is sung by Kurdish nationalists as the Kurdish national anthem. It was written by the Kurdish poet Dildar in 1938, when he was in a jail in the Kurdistan province of Iran. Ey Reqib means literally "Hey Guardian", but nowadays the title is usually given in English as "Hey Enemy". The song was originally written in Sorani but is also sung in the Kurdish dialect of Kurmanji.
EY REQIB
Ey reqib her maye qewmé Kurdý ziman Naþike u danaye topen zeman
Kes neben Kurd dimirin, kurd jin diven Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan
Em xorten Medya u Keyxusrewin Seyr bike xwina diyan me da rýjan
Kes neben Kurd dimirin, Kurd jin diven Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan
Em xorten renge sor u þoreþin De xwin vexþin bikin taca cihan
Kes nebe Kurd dimirin, Kurd Jin diven Jin dive nakeve, Ala Kurdan
Lawen Kurd rabune ser pýyan wek þeran Dýn iman u ayýn ýman Kurd u Kurdistan
Kes neben Kurd dimirin, Kurd jin diven Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan
Lawen Kurd tev hazýr u amadene Can fidane can fida tev can fida
Kes neben Kurd dimirin, Kurd jin diven Jin dive qet nakeve, Ala Kurdan
Ey raqîb her mawe qewmî kurd ziman, Nay s,ikên danery topî zeman. Kes nelê kurd mirduwe; kurd zînduwe, Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.
Lawî kurd hestaye ser pê wek dilêr, Ta be xuên nexsîn deka tacî jiyan. Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe, Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.
Ême roley Midya u Keyxusrewîn, Dînman, ayînman her Kurdistan Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe, Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.
Ême roley rengî sûr u s,oris,în, Seyrîke xuênawiya raburdûman. Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe, Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.
Lawî kurdî hazir u amadeye, Giyan fîdane, giyan fîda, her giyanfîda. Kes nelê Kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe, Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman
