One Day Agha Bozorg Told Me
Translated from the original Persian post. Images, if present, are from that post or thread.
One day Agha Bozorg told me:
“If you have a friend, then when your heart trembles, there’s someone beside you to calm it.
“If you have a friend, then when you’re hurting and call, they say, ‘When? Where should I be?’”
“Agha Bozorg,” I asked, “you were quite a man about town when you were young, or so you say. Tell me something. What does it mean to have a shah?”
“If you have a shah, your heart feels so secure it doesn’t tremble in the first place.
“If you have a shah, there’s no pain, no poverty, no sighing over your troubles that you’d have to pour out to a friend.
“It means living with dignity and owing no one a favor.”
“Agha Bozorg, I want a shah.”
“So do I. Iran wants its shah back.”
Long live Iran.
Long live the Shah forever.
We stand with the Shah.
