Tabriz

By: Ahmad  Barari (Mihanparast)

The lovely city of Tabriz, is as a gate,

It's nice name recalls it's ancient roots and weight.

Tabriz will shine like a star over dear Iran,

 Overflowing with greatness and nobility in Iran.

 This city has had great men of courage and power,

Great men who defended their land and gained honour.

Tabriz is the cradle to the greatest poets and poetesses,

Poet like Shahriyar and poetess like Parvin.

Carpets woven in Tabriz are world-famous,

Sweets cooked in Tabriz are sweet to every taste.

Foods made in Tabriz, are delicious to all,

No guest has ever forgotten the taste of it’s meatball[1].

The Grand Bazaar of Tabriz is matchless in the world,

 It's  El-Gölü [2] revives the heart and the soul.

My dear Iran is to me like evergreen Paradise,

And my dear Tabriz is a celestial garden for the wise.
