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, Iran, 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]
