And now the meaning:

Oh Fatherland, Oh creator of History

(Iran is known to have 10.000 years of civilization, so the poet says it's the 'mother' of history or the creator of it.)

Oh the land whose soil I am in need of (and am bound to)

Oh, your desert is my soul's heaven

(in Farsi desert is a place in which no plant grows and in Iran we have plenty of it. The poet says that even the deserts of Iran are as good as the heaven to him)

A horse named Rakhsh, and a very powerful man named Rostam who rides it,

that your enemies cannot even dream of them (Rakhsh and Rostam) in their sleeps.

(you also have) Soldiers who are very brave and keep the borders and are not afraid of death (and are willing to sacrifice their loves for the country)

And armies whose soldiers stand in rows (armed and ready)

They (the soldiers) even bothered the plains and rivers (by roaming an dfighting on them)

and took back Khorramshahr

(Khorramshahr is acity in southern Iran, that was ocupied by Iraqi soldiers during the eight years of war between Iran and Iraq, but finally we took it back.)

Oh my fatherland, oh my modest mother

(The word 'Iran' means modest or modesty in its roots. here the poet uses the word not as thename of a country, but as an adjective for the word mother)

Oh the mother of my fathers an dmy children,

Oh my home, my land,

Each part of your soil, even as small as a palm of a hand, is as dear and precious to me as are my sister, wife and mother.

(In Iran men are very caring about the women who are in their family an dtehy mean most precious to them)

I never want to see you in ruins,

I never want to see your plains empty of lions

(here the poet has likened the soldiers to lions and says that he wants to see teh country always full of those who guard it.)

If your soil no longer exists, I wish for my life to vanish too.

I also wish that (if your soil is no longer ours and you're not name diran anymore) no person remains alive in the entire country.
