My eyes beckoned and you would not forget that look.

I looked at you for the very last time,

And with that last look, I told you everything.

My eyes beckoned and you would not forget that look.

My eyes beckoned that you would remember me.

❊❊❊

My eyes tell of a thousand mothers’ heartache.

My eyes tell of the pain and sorrow of the poor and needy.

My eyes tell of the moaning of starving parched children.

My eyes tell of young hearts that are tired of longing for the impossible.

My eyes tell of the many sorrows of this time.

❊❊❊

My eyes tell of the heaviness of prison shackles.

My eyes tell of the darkness of wailing nights.

My eyes tell of the fear that resides at the bottom of a well.

My eyes tell of an unnameable loneliness.

My eyes tell of an unnameable loneliness.

❊❊❊

My eyes tell of the bitter taste of accusation and disrespect.

My eyes tell of the utter disappointment of disloyalty.

My eyes tell of the fear of hopelessness.

My eyes tell of the anger towards genocide.  

My eyes tell of mothers’ broken hearts.

My eyes tell of our constant fear of ‘Evin’ prison.

❊❊❊

My last gaze was a plea to the brave and courageous,

That Iran is suffering a fever, the Motherland is on fire.

That Iran is suffering a fever, the Motherland is on fire.

That our honor and love are heading to the grave.

That our honor and love are heading to the grave.

❊❊❊

My last gaze was the essence of innocence.

My last gaze was an inner love poem.

My last gaze was the blossom of the freedom day.

And it was a greeting to an eternal song. 

My last gaze was the blossom of the freedom day.

And it was a greeting to an eternal song.

❊❊❊

I looked at you for the very last time,

And with that last look, I told you everything.

And with that last look, I told you everything.

I looked at you for the very last time,

That you would not forget that look,

That you would remember me,

And you would remember my message.

❊❊❊

Your Iran is me, look at me,

I am your Iran, look at me,

I am your Iran, rolling in blood,

I am your Iran, I am innocent,

I am your Iran, knotted in pain,

Hear my wailing, I am innocent,

I am your Iran, drenched in the blood of oppression,

Come with your hand, I am so weak,

Give me refuge, I have no place to go,

Rescue me, I am drowning in a sea of blood,

Rescue me, I am drowning in a sea of blood.

❊❊❊

My last look however, was also a question,

A question without an answer!

“Why did you do this to me?!”

“Why did you extinguish my life?!”

“Why did you drench my love in blood?!”

“Why did you destroy my beloved country?!”

“Why have you chosen brutality and oppression?!”

“Why are you against your own people?!”

“Why in your heart, is there no compassion?!”

“Why don’t you love your own country?!”

“Why do kindness and love not exist in you?!”

❊❊❊

Is your heart made of a cold dark stone?!

Is your faith built on demonsʼ and beastsʼ?!

You said you believed in a divine religion,

And that your path was the path of divine justice!

❊❊❊

Never have I seen suffering and humiliation as harsh as this,

Never have I seen an oppression as brutal as this, 

Never have I seen any people as low as this. 

❊❊❊

No longer do I believe in your God, 

No longer do I want your holy book, 

And no longer do I want to see your face. 

Now I depart, leave all my friends behind, 

As I can no longer, tolerate your brutality. 

Now I depart, leave all my friends behind, 

As I can no longer, tolerate your brutality.

❊❊❊

If my eyes have been put out, 

The look in my eyes will be eternal, 

If my life has been taken, 

My message will live forever.

If you have read what was in my eyes, 

If you have understood what my message was, 

Answer my Call... 

Give a voice to my voice... 

Answer my Call... 

Give a voice to my voice... 

Give a voice to my voice... 

Answer my Call... 

Answer my Call...
