"Newroz" (Kurdish: نەورۆز) is a Kurdish song performed by Hassan Zirak. It was recorded on Kurdish Radio Tehran and Radio Kermanshan. The song is based on a poem by the Kurdish poet Piramerd. The lyrics reflect themes of Newroz, the Kurdish New Year celebrated on March 21, while also conveying notions of spring, renewal, and cultural celebration.
The repeated chorus reinforces the festive spirit associated with the holiday, while the final line makes reference to the patriotic song "Ey Reqîb", commonly sung during Newroz celebrations.
