It was written by the Kurdish poet and political activist Dildar in 1938 while he was in jail. "Ey Reqîb" means "Oh, enemy!" and refers to the guards in the prison in which Dildar was held and tortured but also to the broader oppression of Kurds.[3]
Ey reqîb her maye qewmê kurd ziman Naşikê û danayê bi topê zeman. Kes nebê kurd dimirin, kurd jîn dibin. Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala kurdan.
Em xortên rengê sor û şoreşin Seyr bike xwîna dîyan me da rijand. Kes nebê kurd dimirin, kurd jîn dibin. Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala kurdan.
Em xortên Medya û Keyxusrewin Dîn îman û ayîman, her niştiman. Dîn îman û ayîman, kurd û Kurdistan. Kes nebê kurd dimirin, kurd jîn dibin. Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala kurdan.
Lawê kurd rabûye ser pê wek şêran Ta bixwîn nexşîn bike tacî jiyan. Kes nebê kurd dimirin, kurd jîn dibin. Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala kurdan.
Xortên nûh tev hazir û amade ne Can fîda ne can fîda, her can fîda. Kes nebê kurd dimirin, kurd jîn dibin. Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala kurdan.
ئەی ڕەقیب ھەر، مایە قەومێ کورد زمان
ناشکێ و دانایێ ب تۆپێ زەمان. کەس نەبێ کورد دمرن، کورد ژین دبن. ژین دبن قەت ناکەڤێ ئالا کوردان.
Oh, enemy! The Kurdish people live on, They have not been crushed by the weapons of any time Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag
We are descendants of the red banner of the revolution Look at our past, how bloody it is Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag
We are the descendants of the Medes and Cyaxares Kurdistan is our religion, our credo, Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag
The Kurdish youth rise bravely, With their blood they colored the crown of life Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag
The Kurdish youth are ready and prepared, To give their life as the supreme sacrifice Let no one say Kurds are dead, they are living They live and never shall we lower our flag
Oh foes who watch us, the nation whose language is Kurdish is alive It cannot be defeated by makers of weapons of any time Let no one say the Kurds are dead, the Kurds are alive The Kurds are alive and their flag will never fall
We are the sons of the red colour of revolution Our history is one filled with blood Let no one say the Kurds are dead, the Kurds are alive The Kurds are alive and our flag will never fall
We are the sons of the Medes and Kai Khosrow Our homeland is our faith and religion Let no one say the Kurds are dead, the Kurds are alive The Kurds are alive and our flag will never fall
The Kurdish youth has risen like noble warriors To draw the crown of life with blood Let no one say the Kurds are dead, the Kurds are alive The Kurds are alive and our flag will never fall
The Kurdish youth are ever-ready And always prepared to sacrifice their lives To sacrifice their lives, to sacrifice their lives. Let no one say the Kurds are dead, the Kurds are alive The Kurds are alive and our flag will never fall
