“Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.”
― سعدی

“An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.”
― سعدی

“Sanctions levied
Sanctions heavy
Break my back
But you will not end me

Many have assailed
Many have failed
Pack after pack
Blood shed but to no avail

Had my share of years
Had my share of tears
SAVAK to crack
A century of polluted atmosphere

This is my land
This is my clan
Turn the clock back
I'm as old as the history of man

Gone are the golden days
Gone are the golden ways
Stopped in my tracks
Time will lead me out of this maze

Keep my people in pain
Keep my people in chains
Wrapped in my flag
The end welcomes tyranny's campaign

Levy your sanctions
Heavy my reaction
From The Burnt City to Ganzak
I, Simurgh, will rise from the ashes

History will go round
History will go down
Evil, domestic and foreign
Will burn to the ground

Time bears witness
Time bears justice
Our mystic misfortune
A lingering dark nimbus

Rise up my wings
Rise up my kings
This majestic sovereign
Will be reborn once again”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19

“Listen Mr. Namaki, you're a king to me
You're a symbol of what we should strive to be
In this modern day and age, you're an alchemist
So let me join you, sing your song up the hills”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19

“Hey you, feasting at the table on the shore,with bread on your plate, clothes on your body. Someone from the water beckons you, beating the heavy tide with his exhausted hands...
