  دلیر افغان، عزیز ایران
  یه کاری کن منم شهید بشم قومندان
  به آیه‌های چادر خاکی قرآن
  لحظه آخری بگم سلام حسین جان
  dalir-e afġân, aziz-e irân
  ye kâri kon manam šahid bešam qomandân
  be âye-hâ-ye čâdor-e xâki-ye qor'ân
  lahze-ye âxari begam salâm hoseyn jân
  Afghan hero, beloved of Iran,
  Do something that I too may be martyred, commander.
  By the verses of the Qur'an's dusty cover,
  I will say "salaam, dear Hussein" in my last moment.
