Dar Mian Tsaliv Wahalal / Alamat Istiklal / Talua Shada Darchashan / Satara Shesh Nashan. "HaTikva". Printed pamphlet with the words of HaTikva by Naftali Herz Imber in Hebrew and in Persian-Jewish translation, by Shlomo (Abichour) Ben Avraham Yosef Kashani. [Tehran, Iran, ca. 1918].
In the pamphlet, the nine verses of HaTikva are printed in Hebrew, followed by a Persian-Jewish translation. On the front is a large Star of David and inside the word "Zion", in golden ink.
One of the first printed items to be printed in Persian-Jewish and Hebrew at the printing press in Tehran, founded in 1917 or 1918. Apparently, this is the first translation of HaTikva to Persian-Jewish.
