Lahze ra daryab Explanation: My friend! I think you have misspelled the first word.It must be "seize the moment" or in other words "seize the day" which is the English translation of "Carpe Diem" and in Farsi means "Lahze ra daryab", emphasizing the importance of time and that we should try to make the best of evey moment of life. |
