به یاد جان‌باختگان کوهستک و با همدردی با مجروحان و خانواده‌هایشان.

جشن عروسی باید با موسیقی، خنده و آغاز یک زندگی مشترک به پایان برسد، نه با ویرانی، اندوه و جای خالی عزیزان.

فارغ از سیاست، غیرنظامیان نباید بهای جنگ را بپردازند.

یاد جان‌باختگان گرامی، و برای مجروحان آرزوی بهبودی داریم.

In memory of those killed in Kuhestak, and with compassion for the wounded and their families.

A wedding should end with music, laughter, and the beginning of a life together—not rubble, grief, and empty chairs.

Civilians should never become the price of war.
