Today I was reading this post (which is written in Farsi). It was about a night with one of the most well-known poets of contemporary Persian poem, Hooshang Ebtehaaj. Personally, I like his works and poems more than any other contemporary poets I know.
It is written there that in the night, Ebtehaaj was sad because in the same night, he heard from a person that in 1985, one of their common friends who was a great man, has been executed (by hanging) in the prison. Therefore, Ebtehaj was overwhelmed that night and was remembering his memories in prison. He was telling that in 1983, while he was in Islamic Republic of Iran's prison, he heard this heroic song from the prison's television which was broadcasted by Iran's national TV:
"Iran, O house of hope...".
The sad part of the story was that the poet of the lyrics was "Hooshang Ebtehaaj" himself! A poem which was written for a song that was composed right after the revolution about the victory and the hope.
