In Memory of Sahar Khodayari
IN MEMORY OF SAHAR KHODAYARI
It is called Esteghlal,
It was the club of her heart
Sahar wanted to support it,
In a stadium of Tehran.
Only men could enter
For her club to support.
Sahar dared to get in
She defied the law.
Not being a man, but a woman
Prevented her from seeing her club playing.
She ended up in custody,
Until the bail, she could pay.
She was taken to Court
Where a sentence was given.
She preferred to commit suicide
Than accepting the Court conviction.
As the Blue girl became known
And like that will be remembered.
For the Iranian women,
The football doors,
Will not be closed again.
