53 souls on the streets of Shiraz
Out to share their message of love
with youth from deprived backgrounds
breezes of confirmation floating around

All were captured and put into a cell
Their social deeds were thus ignored
into deep grounds they fell
Mis-judgement of their Baha'i belief
the cause of such grief

Confined in a prison
captured for their passion
May God burst their cage asunder
and let their souls soar

Haleh, Sasan, Raha you are the same age as me
29, 32, 33
imprisoned in a cell without a bed or a chair
without medicine, movement or a bit of fresh air

I cannot understand
how you deal with such pain
Injustice, maltreatment
where is the gain
Your souls must be so strong
to be tested like this

Confined in a prison
captured for your passion
May God burst your cage asunder
and let your souls soar.
