Morq-e sahar

"Morqe Sahar" (Persian: مرغ سحر) (translated as Dawn Bird / Bird of Dawn / The Nightingale) is an Iranian tasnif written by Mohammad-Taqi Bahar and composed by Morteza Neidavoud in early 20th century under the influence of Iranian constitutional revolution. Some people say that Bahar wrote this poem while he was in prison but on the other hand, some people say that he didn't write this poem in prison because although Bahar had a tempestuous relationship with Shah at that time but He represented the parliament. Morqe Sahar was first recorded, in 1927, by Iranoddole Helen or Taj Esfahani. Moluk Zarrabi is also noted as one of the earliest singers to record Morgh-e sahar.[1] Its content deals with political and social issues. It was later performed by numerous Iranian singers including Qamar-ol-Moluk Vaziri, Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, Leila Forouhar, Homayoun Shajarian, Farhad Mehrad, Shakila, Mohsen Namjoo,[2] Reza Sadeghi, and Hengameh Akhavan.

The song gained heightened popularity as the encore song performed by Maestro Mohammad Reza Shajarian, at the end of every single one of his concerts. It is widely regarded by scholars and academics as "The Unofficial National Anthem for Iranian Freedom".[3]
