Mohammad-Hossein Shahriar’s poems are some of the tenderest and most lyrical among the works of classical Persian poets. Here are selected verses from one of his patriotic poems written for Ferdowsi’s Millenary Celebrations in 1934. The verses chosen are not consecutive but appear in the correct order. For the full poem, see the third item at: http://azargoshnasp.net/poems/shahryar_beh_pishgaah.pdf
