- و بدا به حال من که هنوز ماندهام و جام زهرآلود قبول قطعنامه را سر کشیدهام، و در برابر عظمت و فداکاری این ملت بزرگ احساس شرمساری میکنم […]
- va badâ be hâl-e man ke hanuz mânde-am va jâm-e zahr-âlud-e qabul-e qat'nâme râ sar kešide-am, va dar barâbar-e 'azamat o fedâkâri-ye in mellat-e bozorg ehsâs-e šarmsâri mi-konam […]
