The Dream Which Came True

After eight anxious years of living in dreams

At last I married the woman of my dreams

It was just like a dream, the dream of all dreams

Finally I realized the spirit of my dreams

Our dreams rarely come true, but this time it did

There she was beside me in front of the judge

Side by side just the two of us facing the judge

Secretly touching fingers and shivering

Like a couple of youth dreaming of future life

The two pensioners sat there facing the judge

Saheb Gharaniye Palace,

Tehran, Iran

Listening to the speech and every word of the judge

Some meaningful some remote and in foreign tongue

Beautiful and enigmatic is my life

Sitting down and looking at my future wife
