الطريق إلى النصر وحيد

The path to victory is a lonely one

چشم نمیتوند عشق را پنهان کند

— Cheshm nametana ishq-ra penhaan kunad

‘’The eye does not know how to hide love.’’

And those children will keep waiting for their hero father.

but I saw who paid the price.

Mahmoud Darwish

My lover asks me: “What is the difference between me and the sky?” The difference, my love, Is that when you laugh, I forget about the sky.
