That night, while her words still danced through the cool air of the narrow alleys of Naser Khosrow, the storyteller opened her lips once more. as if Tehran still held a thousand untold secrets within its soul
This time, she spoke of Baharestan Square
a place where history rests gently on the city’s shoulder beneath the shade of its ancient plane trees. Before the old Parliament building, a soft breeze drifted by, as though the letters of the constitutional reformers had left their traces among the leaves
Then her tale swept toward Saadabad Palace
where towering trees cast majestic shadows over a past painted with vivid colors. She spoke of halls that still kept the echo of royal footsteps and the golden sunlight of Shemiran’s summers
Her story then wandered into Jamshidieh Park
a place where the stones rise like steps toward the misty mountain sky. The waterfall’s voice, like an old melody, filled the ears of the city
and the small lanterns flickering beside the lake trembled softly, each holding a silent wish within its light.
She then spoke of Toghrol Tower
standing in the quiet of Rey, watching the centuries pass with the precision of an old guardian. She said that if one listens carefully at night, one might hear the hidden ticking of time inside its stones
Her tale floated like a white dove toward Ibn Babawayh Cemetery
where the trees sway gently in the breeze and the faces of great figures in history whisper faintly from their distant dreams
With a faint smile, she spoke of Chitgar Lake
where orange sunsets settle upon the water and small boats drift like tiny dreams across the waves“By this lake,” she said, “one feels that even Tehran wants to breathe deeply now and then
Later, her words arrived at Ab-o-Atash Park
where the Tabiat Bridge stretches like an embrace over the highways and where the laughter of young people dissolves into the colorful lights each night
Finally, with a calm gaze, she pointed toward Farahzad Valley, the rocky slopes of Darabad, the Qasr Garden-Museum, the National Museum of Iran, the long-lost Tekyeh Dowlat, the enchanting mosaics of the Moghaddam House, and even the quiet sunset in Laleh Park
as though she wished to say that there is no corner of this city without a hidden tale
:And when the last taxi lights dimmed along the streets, she whispered
“Tehran is a city where even the shadows carry stories
As long as the rooftops remain awake beneath its sky
I will weave a new tale for it each night
for Tehran is a legend that never ends.”
