As the new semester opened — on the fortieth-day mourning of the Dey uprising's fallen — a second wave rose from the universities: a sit-in at Shahid Beheshti, street blockades at Amirkabir, and a rally at Sharif that was attacked by Basij militiamen. Students in Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan and Yazd chanted "Death to the dictator" and called for Prince Reza Pahlavi.

تو مرا جان و جهانی، تو مرا کان و کان بی تو یک لحظه ندارم ز جهان هیچ نشان
“You are my soul and world, you are my mine of mines Without you for a moment I have no sign of the world”
