Language: English  after the Persian (Farsi) 
I am captured by your love
trying to escape is not possible
love is an ocean without boundaries
a wise person would not want to swim in it 
if you want love until the end
you must accept what is not accepted 
welcome hardship with joy
eat poison but call it honey
