Smoke billows from a burning bus as a supporter of defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi flashes the victory sign during a protest in Tehran on Saturday, June 13. Hardline incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won Iran's hotly disputed presidential vote, according to official results that triggered mass opposition protests.
با من اكنون چه نشستنها،خاموشيها
با تو اكنون چه فراموشيهاست .
چه كسي مي خواهد
من و تو ما نشويم
خانه اش ويران باد !
من اگر ما نشوم، تنهايم
تو اگر ما نشوي،
- خويشتني
از كجا كه من و تو
شور يكپارچگي را در شرق
باز بر پانكنيم
از كجا كه من و تو
مشت رسوايان را وا نكنيم .
من اگر برخيزم
تو اگر برخيزي
همه بر ميخيزند
من اگر بنشينم
تو اگر بنشيني
چه كسي برخيزد ؟
چه كسي با دشمن بستيزد ؟
چه كسي
پنجه در پنجه هر دشمن دون
- آويزد

The Azadi Tower, literally the Tower of Freedom, is a symbol of Tehran. It marks the entrance to the Iranian capital. It was built in 1971 in order of the Shah and in commemoration of the 2,500th anniversary of the Persian Empire. It was designed by Hossein Amanat, who won a competition to design the monument. The tower combines elements of Sassanid and Islamic architecture. Amanat was driven from the country after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
