    An excerpt from a Shams-e Langaroodi poem about Neda, with its translation:

    آه ندای عزیز من

    گل سرخی که بر گلوی تو روییده بود

    باز شد

    گسترده شد

    و نقشه ی ایران را در ترنم گلبرگ هایش فرو پوشانید

    و اینانی که ندا داده اند

    بلبلانند

    میلیون ها تن که گرد گلی نشسته

    و نام تو را می خوانند.

    ... Ah, my dear Neda

    the red rose of your throat

    blossomed

    swelled

    and engulfed in the song of its petals

    the face of Iran.

    And those who have heralded

    are a million nightingales

    circling a flower

    singing your name...

    Translation of slogans:

     

    فلسطينو رها کن ------فکری به حا ل ما کن
    Think of us in Iran, not of those in Palestine!

     

    يه ميليون دو ميليون-------------- راي نداديم به ميمون
    One million, Two million -- we didn't vote for this baboon!

     

    احمدی پینوشه----ایران شیلی نمیشه
    Ahmadi Pinochet -- Iran is not your Chile ....

    (Note to Iranians: Chile is pronounced Chee-leh)

     

    مرگ بر طالبان -- چه کابل , چه تهران
    Down with the Taliban, both in Kabul and Tehran..
