In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Boundless thanks to God Almighty Who obliged us by His special favors to honor us as a nation who attacked the superpowers with bloody uprising and Divinely revolution and spirit of faith and mysticism- a nation who curtailed the hands of influence of tyrants from our dear Islamic countries with their valuable sacrifices and restoring its dignity and independence, a nation who regained the greatness and majesty of Muslim country and granted them self-determination and replacing the just Islamic government by the arrogant monarchical government, presenting the dear Islam to oppressed peoples of the East and the West. God's mercy and greetings of righteous and sincere men to the great martyrs and war disabled and those missing in action and prisoners of war who opened the way for achievement of happiness in this and other world by offering their life, blood, health and remoteness from the country in the cause of dignity and honor of the country and Islam, making them and their nation proud before the sacred threshold of Almighty God.
Now after lapse of several years since the glorious Islamic Revolution and doleful pressures of superpowers and ceaseless and all-out plots of big and small tyrants aimed to extinguish the light of God have been thwarted thank God by the great spiritual power and thanks to the blood of martyrs and selfless combatants in the cause of Islam and the tricks of the enemies have backfired. The majestic rays of Islam are fast growing in the world and God promise of leadership and succession of the oppressed seem to be impending. Thank God lame comments of the affiliates to the Eastern and Western blocs unaware of Islam and the power of Islamic nations came to be wrong and the Islamic Republic of Iran continue with its path that is the straight path of Islam with his enormous power emanating from divinely favors. O, God! You created this strange transformation in a nation that was about to be immolated by the desires of world-devourers at the hands of their affiliates, these unquestionable servile agents. You indebted this oppressed nation in the course of history and transformed us from the wretchedness of servitude to other than God to the majesty of your obedience and made this dear nation model for all oppressed peoples of the world.
O, God! This country is dependent on the holy Messenger (may God's peace be upon him and his progeny) and his household. It is the land of the Savior (may our souls be sacrificed for him). In the honor they hold in your sacred Threshold, perpetuate your favors! Grant final victory to the dear combatants and shower your bounteous mercy upon the dear martyrs and dignified war disabled! Grant patience and spiritual reward to the combatants and their family! Return the prisoners of war and those missing in action to the country in health! Help the dear wayfarers of Karbala, these selfless warriors in the cause of Truth achieve their lofty goals! Curtail the hands of tyrants from Islamic countries! Grant us sincerity and dignity of your servitude! Shower Your boundless peace upon the grand prophets, particularly their Master (may God's peace be upon him and his progeny) and the Immaculate Imams, particularly their last one (may our souls be sacrificed for him)! Protect us against the evil of Satan and carnal passion!" Verily, You are the Lord of blessing." «1»
