Martyrdom, as one of the foundational concepts in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and Sacred Defense literature, holds a distinctive position within the cultural and identity structure of Iranian society. This study, employing a cultural semiotic approach, investigates the representation of martyrdom in the poetry collection *Morning Breath* by Qeysar Aminpour. The primary aim is to analyze linguistic, visual, and intertextual signs related to martyrdom and to explain how these signs generate meaning through interaction with cultural codes, collective memory, and dominant discourses of the Iran–Iraq war era. The research adopts a qualitative methodology based on cultural semiotic analysis, focusing on selected poems from the mentioned collection. Findings reveal that Aminpour, through signs such as light, blood, flight, flower, Ashura, and Karbala, constructs a multilayered semantic system in which martyrdom emerges as a cultural sign imbued with religious, national, humanistic, and aesthetic meanings. These signs, rooted in the specific cultural context of the early post-revolutionary decades, contribute to the reproduction and consolidation of the martyrdom discourse within the cultural memory of the audience. The study concludes that Aminpour’s poetry not only reflects the culture of martyrdom but also actively reimagines it. This representation, by distancing itself from official and propagandistic language and relying on poetic, metaphorical, and humanistic expression, offers a lasting and impactful image of martyrdom—one that invites literary, cultural, and sociological reflection.
