Critique of Western Influence and Human Rights

O you Westernized ones!

O you foreign- struck ones!

O you hollow people! O you empty people!

By God, do not Westernize everything about yourselves.

Look at the things in the West, the good things in the West.

Look at the human rights association in the West.

See what kind of people they are and what intentions they have.

Do they want to respect human rights or the rights of the superpowers?

They follow the superpowers and want to secure the

superpowers' rights.

These are the human rights association.

These are the ones working hard for human rights.

These are the ones securing human comfort.

And you talk, while they act.

These workers, these peasants…

These are the human rights association and the jurists.

They act, and you write.

Since the 15th of Khordad until now, we have shed blood.

That is, you shed blood, while I am just sitting here. I have no right either.

You shed your blood, you went to the battlefield, you fought.

We have no rights. We must serve you.

We must not take advantage of this ourselves. Not to exploit your name.

Shame on me if I want to use you for status.

Shame on me if your blood is shed and I reap the

benefits of it.
