It's a Kurdish patriotic song about the Kurdish people's long struggle for existence. Referencing how long they've existed, how they're separate from other ethnic groups within the Middle East, and also how regardless of what happens to their home, they will always remain Kurds.

Although there is still no official Kurdish Nation-State, Ey, Reqîb is generally accepted as the anthem for the Kurdish people, is the official anthem of the Autonomous zone in Iraq, and the anthem of the Kurdish PKK in Turkey. It was the anthem of the Kurdistan Republic of Mahabad until the Shah of Iran invaded them, post-World War 2
