Lean in closer azizam,
And I will tell you
The story
Of the strongest woman
Who ever lived.
She had one eyebrow
Which she ripped into two
So she could sit at the
Same table as men.
She was descended from
Great warriors like
Dariush and Cyrus,
Her bloodline
Pure with Muslim blood.
She marched with you
With hair on her legs,
And when she bled,
Revolutions mounted.
She is the soul of our movement,
Birthing a pulsing force
Of truth and reckoning.
She is everywhere azizam,
She is the future of our country -
The exquisite fusion
Of you
And me.
The Future of Our Country
