A beautiful poem and heartfelt tribute written by Azar Sh., a member of the From Boston To Iran community, dedicated to His Royal Highness Reza Pahlavi — the enduring symbol of hope and unity for a free Iran.

“ In the Name of Hope In a land where voices are shattered, and flags hang low in shame, you stand— not with a sword, but with the memory of a name. You, with eyes still gazing toward tomorrow, and a voice that carries the scent of the homeland, stand… not for a crown, but for the soil. You are a hope—not in slogans, but in the noble silence that leaves the enemy restless and the friend heartened. O child of this nation’s half-breathing dreams, if ever this land is free again, they will write: “He kept the flame alive, when all had accepted the night.”

Translation to Farsi:
به نام امید
در سرزمینی که صداها شکسته‌اند، و پرچم‌ها از شرم، به زمین دوخته‌اند، تو ایستاده‌ای—
نه با شمشیر، که با خاطره‌ی یک نام.
تو، با چشمانت که هنوز به فردا می‌نگرند، و صدایت که بوی خاک وطن می‌دهد، ایستاده‌ای… نه برای تاج، که برای خاک.
تو امیدی هستی نه در شعار، بل در سکوتِ نجیبی که دشمن را بی‌تاب، و دوست را امیدوار می‌سازد.
ای فرزندِ رؤیاهای نیمه‌جانِ این ملت، اگر روزی این خاک بار دیگر آزاد شد، خواهند نوشت: «او چراغ را نگه داشت، وقتی همه، شب را پذیرفته بودند.
