“The most beautiful sea
hasn't been crossed yet.
The most beautiful child
hasn't grown up yet.
Our most beautiful days
we haven't seen yet.
And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you
I haven't said yet...”

“من خائن به وطن هستم، من خائن به میهن هستم
اگر وطن، مزارع شما باشد
اگر وطن آن چیزی باشد که در گاوصندوق‌ها و دسته چک‌های شماست
اگر وطن مردن از گرسنگی در کنار جاده باشد
اگر وطن در زمستان مثل سگ لرزیدن و در تابستان از تب به خود پیچیدن باشد
اگر وطن مکیدن خون سرخ ما در کارخانه‌هایتان باشد
اگر وطن حکومت چماق و باتون پلیس باشد
اگر وطن سرمایه‌گذاری‌ها و حقوق‌هایتان باشد
اگر وطن، نجات نیافتن ازظلمت گندیده‌ی شما باشد
آری، من خائن به وطن هستم”
― Nâzım Hikmet Ran, Poems of Nazım Hikmet

Is the courage to live
Knowing that we will die,
Knowing nothing more true.
