Newroz
Roja nû — sersala biharê
Roja ku Kawayê hesinker tyranê Dehakî hilweşand — sembola azadiyê
Çîroka navê
Newroz roja nû ye — 21ê Adarê, dema ku şev û roj wek hev dibin û bihar tê. Lê di kurdî de ew ne tenê demsalek e: ew rojek e ku gelek caran agir tê pêxistin, gel li çiyan dilîse, û navê Kawa tê bi bîranîn. Wek nav, Newroz bê zayend tê dayîn — ji ber ku berbangek ji bo her kesî nû ye.
Etîmolojî
Rader: nû + roj · Kurmancî
Newroz is the Kurdish form of the same compound that gives Persian Nowrūz (نوروز): nū (new) + rōj (day). The festival itself predates Islam by centuries — Sasanian-era sources already describe a spring-equinox new year. In Kurdish tradition the day is bound to the legend of Kawa and the fall of the tyrant Zahhak; that legend gives Newroz the second meaning the name now also carries: a freedom day.
