: It is often associated with the Peshmerga and the broader Kurdish freedom movement, serving as a rallying cry during times of resistance.
While (written by the poet Dildar in 1938) remains the official national anthem for the Kurdistan Region, "Her Kurd Ebîn" holds a special place in the hearts of many Kurds.
(Kurdish for "We Will Always Be Kurds") is a powerful Kurdish patriotic anthem that serves as a profound expression of national identity and resilience. Often regarded as an unofficial national anthem, it complements the official "Ey Reqîb" by focusing on the enduring nature of Kurdish heritage despite centuries of political and cultural suppression. Origin and Authorship
The lyrics of "Her Kurd Ebîn" emphasize the legitimacy of the Kurdish nation and its right to sovereignty. Key themes include:
: Ahmad wrote the piece during the early years of his political activism, a time when Kurdish cultural expression was often restricted. It was later adopted as a national anthem in 2003 and is frequently performed at official events in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Core Themes and Message
The anthem was written by (1914–2000), a distinguished Kurdish writer, poet, and influential political leader.
: The anthem argues that independence is a "decision made by history" rather than a favor to be requested from other nations. Cultural and Political Significance
: The central refrain, "We will remain Kurds," asserts that Kurdish identity is innate and cannot be erased by external forces.
