lyrics

ما در اين چند سال اخير ديده ايم با همه تدابير امنيتي رفته بر دانشگاه و فضاي خفقان و سرکوب ويژه در دانشگاه، امروز همچنان دانشگاه زنده است و اين آخرين سنگر آزادي ميزبان صداي رسا و فرياد آزادي و آزادي خواهي دانشجويان است.‏

During recent years we have seen that with all of the security measures being enforced on universities, and suffocation and the drastic repression inside universities, today university is still alive and this stronghold of freedom is continuing to host the voice of students and their cry and struggle for freedom and liberty.
