I long for embraces from people I have never met, and yet their honor fills the streets. Even on that great day, I will not know who they are. With my eyes closed, I will feel freedom in the air. I will hear cries of “Long live the Shah,” and the breathless sobs of joy at seeing one another again. On that day, we must live the joy of that reunion. #جاویدشاه (Long live the Shah)
