EY IRAN

A friend writes me she is very upset about all these threats against Iran. I speak with my sister - she feels angry about this, and I myself am so concerned and sad, and remember how the war began against Iraq .
I remember all those people who cried and shouted at demonstrations "Don't attack Iraq"!
All those young people who came from France for the weekend to London and participated in antiwar demos and showed their disgust for war "No blood for oil".
But the illegal war began and I remember again all those terrible pictures from injured and dead children and innocent Iraqi People which mostly were not published in the Western press.
And now, two years after the begin of the war, only 17% Iraqis - mostly Kurds - are satisfied with the new regime and people are suffering because of shortage of water and electricity. Oil companies - similar to vultures - plunder and sweep the wealth of country.
After all this, considering that Iran has large oil reservoirs, the US accuse now Iran for developing nuclear weapons and play RISIKO with the World map!
I feel angry, but hearing to "Ey Iran*" rises the hope in my heart. Wwill not let the enemy destroy our country!

*"Ey Iran" is a famous Iranian song. The lyrics was written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab in 1946, and the music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleghi.
Gol-e-Golab was inspired to write the song by patriotism. He has been quoted to have said: "In 1944, the footsteps of the invading armies in the streets were enough to rattle any patriot and inspired me to write this anthem. Professor Ruhollah Khaleghi wrote the music and despite all the political opposition, it found its way into the heart and soul of the people."

Oh Iran our jeweled country
Your land is the wellspring of art
Let the thoughts of the devils be far from you
May your lasting be eternal
Oh enemy if you a rocky stone, I am the iron
May my life be sacrificed for my pure motherland
When your love became my calling
My thoughts are not far from you
In your cause when do our lives have value
May the land of our Iran be eternal
The stone of your mountain is jewels and pearls
The soil of your valleys is better than gold
When will I rid my heart of your affection
Tell me, what will I do without your affection
As long the turning of the earth and the cycling of the sky lasts
The light of the Divine will always guide us
When your love became my calling
My thoughts are not far from you
In your cause when do our lives have value
May the land of our Iran be eternal
Iran oh my green paradise
Lighted is my fate because of you
If fire rains on my body
Other than your love I will not cherish in my heart
Your water, soil and love molded my clay
If your love leaves my heart it will become barren
When your love became my calling
My thoughts are not far from you
In your cause when do our lives have value
May the land of our Iran be eternal
