"We Are Armed with Allahu Akbar" (Persian: ما مسلح به «الله اکبر»یم, romanizedMā mosallah be "Allāho Akbar"im) is the name of an Iranian 1979 Islamic revolutionary military march song performed by IRGC troops in front of Ayatollah Khomeini in Jamaran Hussainiya.[1] For more than 3 decades, it has been the credit song for Iranian television news across all channels and hours.[2] The song lyrics are partially composed of parts from Muhammad's speech for the victory of the Conquest of Mecca, saying "There is no deity but God, the one. He has fulfilled His promise, He held to his servant" (Arabic: لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ).[3][4][5]

Lyrics

Persian original Persian romanization Persian IPA transcription English translation

ما مسلّح به ٱلله اکبریم / بر صف دشمنان حمله می‌بریم

ما همه پیرو خط رهبریم / بر صف مشرکان حمله می‌بریم

لا الٰه لا الٰه لا الٰه الّا ٱلله / لا الٰه لا الٰه لا الٰه الّا ٱلله

وحدهُ وحدهُ وحدهُ وحده / انجزَ انجزَ انجزَ وعده

نصرَ نصرَ نصرَ عبده / لا شریک لا شریک لا شریکَ له

انجزَ وعده و نصرَ عبده / الله اکبر خمینی رهبر

Mā mosallah be Allāho Akbarim / Bar saff-e došmanān hamle mibarim

Mā hame peyrov-e xatt-e rahbarim / Bar saff-e mošrekān hamle mibarim

Lā elāh lā elāh lā elāha ellā llāh / Lā elāh lā elāh lā elāha ellā llāh

Wahdahu wahdahu wahdahu wahda / Anjaza anjaza anjaza wa'da

Nasara nasara nasara abda / Lā šarik lā šarik lā šarika la

Anjaza wa'da wa nasara abda / Allāho Akbar Xomeyni rahbar

We are armed with Allahu Akbar / We attack the enemy's lines

We are all followers of the Leader / We attack the polytheists' lines

There is no, there is no, there is no deity but Allah / There is no, there is no, there is no deity but Allah

He is the sole God, He is the sole God, He is the sole God, the sole / He fulfilled, He fulfilled, He fulfilled His promise

Succeeded, Succeeded, His servants succeeded / There is no partner, no partner, no partner for Him

He fulfilled his promise and His servant succeeded / Allah is greater, Khomeini is the Leader
