پایه های خانه بر روی تار بنا شده اند.
همانگونه که زندگی ات در اخیار شهر قرار گرفته.
خودت ویران تر از خانه ات شدی.

Description: This billboard sized martyr image is extraordinary because the focus is not on the martyr but on a child seeming to possess a sense of security and the people of Iran thriving and having bountiful and happy future because of the sacrifice of a martyr. The lower left reads: “I will not forget that you sacrificed for me”. Most martyr images in Iran are of individuals who died during the 1979 Islamic Revolution or the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War. A few images honor those killed in recent years defending Shia shrines in Iraq and Syria.

A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other permanent surfaces. The image in this photo is a mural because it is permanently attached to a building. It is not a billboard because the subject matter is not a commercial advertisement.
Imāmzādeh Sāleh (Persian: امامزاده صالح) is one of many Imāmzadeh mosques in Iran. The mosque is located at Tajrish Square in Tehran's northern Shemiran district. The mosque entombs the remains of Sāleh, a son of the Twelver Shī‘ah Imām, Mūsā al-Kādhim, and is one of the most popular Shī‘ah shrines in northern Tehran.
