listen to this spoken
—
what does eid mean to us here away from home?
away from the land that’s embedded in our bone?
what does sale no mean if we’ve become so scattered?
what does it mean if we’ve forgotten what really matters?
what is eid-didani if nothing feels like EERAAN?
why is it that happy life is to win that marathon?
what happened to the days of sofre-chini?
of ab-goosht o’ lavash o’ dore ham neshini?
what really matters is the love for our history
so what we keep stays in our family’s diary
ketabo baz kon o’ shoroo kon khandane farsi
ke roozi shaer shodi o’ be iranat begi mersi
