Ey Reqîb (Kurdish: ئەی ڕەقیب ,Ey Reqîb‎, pronounced [ɛj rɛˈqiːb]) is the Kurdish national anthem and the official anthem of the autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
It was written by the Kurdish poet and political activist, Dildar in 1938, while in jail. "Ey Reqîb" means "O Enemy!" or "Hey Enemy!"

(Soranî Kurdish Lyrics)
ئەی ڕەقیب ھەر ماوە قەومی کورد زمان،
نایشکێنێ دانەریی تۆپی زەمان.
کەس نەڵێ کورد مردووە، کورد زیندووه،
زیندوە قەت نانەوێ ئاڵاکەمان.

لاوی کورد ھەستایە سەرپێ وەک دلێر،
تا بە خوێن نەخشی بکا تاجی ژیان.
کەس نەڵێ کورد مردووە، کورد زیندووه،
زیندوە قەت نانەوێ ئاڵاکەمان.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
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
