More Shiraz pictures, please

Thanks to you and to all who post pictures here. At least for those of us who are not able to go there very often it is a good thing that we can see images of our hometown and we can be reminded of her beauty every once in a while.

Shiraz

خوشا شیراز و وضع ِ بی مثالش خداوندا نگهدار از زوالش

How beautiful is Shiraz's unparalleled state
God save it from harm and the hands of fate.
May God keep its flowing Roknabad river
Its waters with freshness, always equate.
Between Jafarabad and Mossalla gardens
Northern breeze's scent, forever accelerate .
In Shiraz the bounty of heavenly spirit
Amidst its wise people is an inner trait.
Nobody talks of the Egyptian sugar
It surpasses all, in sweetness is great.
O breeze what news of the happy minstrel?
How is his state? How does he relate?
If that sweet boy kills, and sheds my blood
O heart forgive him for his innocent hate.
O God let me stay with, this, my dream
I am happy with the vision of my mate.
Brave separation Hafiz, patiently wait
Thank God for union, time to consummate.

Those who don't go back

Normally have a totally different view about Iran. It's a responsibility of every individual to visit their homeland and check things out.

So then go back?

by Siavash23 (not verified) on Wed Feb 25, 2009 08:58 AM PST

Can't be bothered? Can't afford it? What's your excuse?
Most Iranians abroad who don't go back are usually just sulking. They just choose to remain "ghahr" or use lame reasons like "waiting for government to change" in some sort of silly pathetic "protest". I have seen all sorts of Iranians here in Australia go back for routine holidays despite religion, political background, etc.
