Kawa
Hesinker — leheng ê serhildanê
Hesinkerê ku alaya azadiyê hilda
Çîroka navê
Kawa hesinkerek bû — mêrekî bi destên xwe yên reş ji êgir, ne padîşahek û ne lehengek ji eslê esîlzade. Lê dema ku tyranê Dehakî zarokên gel ji wan girtin da ku marên ser milên xwe têr bike, Kawa berxwedanê bilind kir. Pêşmaliya wî bû ala — drafş — û rojek ku ew rabû Newroz hat naskirin. Navê wî dengê hesinê dixe — û dengê azadiyê.
Etîmolojî
Rader: Kāva · Middle Persian
The name Kawa descends from Middle Persian Kāva, attested in Ferdowsi's Šāhnāme (c. 1010 CE) and in earlier Sasanian-era references. In the Kurdish reading of the legend, Kawa is the smith whose children were taken by the tyrant Zahhak (also Dehak, Aždahāk) — and who finally led a revolt that ended the tyrant's reign. The day of liberation became Newroz.
