In the land of kings, the Shahanshah called every Iranian a king and gave them the glory of the Lion and Sun so they might live like royalty. Then a faction came, renamed the land of kings a land of the downtrodden, and, wash jug in hand, robbed this country of its sun and left it in darkness. The sun departed, and the lion was sent into exile. You with hypocrisy branded on your brow, know this: If Iran's king of kings is in exile, what will you do to the kings of Iran? I am a king, and my king of kings is Reza Shah II. #جاویدشاه
