Shir Ali was born in a religious family in Koushk Ghavam Region of Shiraz City in 1948. He continued education till 6th grade of primary school. He further entered “Hozeh Elmieh”? (Central religious school in Iran) in order to know more about Islam. Soltani joined Imam Khomeini soldiers when the Islamic Revolution reached to the peak. He fought with Pahlavi Regime such that he was questioned by “SAVAK”? (Former intelligence service in Iran) officers several times. He put on the green dress of Sepah (The Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution) after victory of Islamic Revolution. He departed for battle fields of truth against untruth later. His talent in saying poems along with his strong spirit made the dark nights of battle field more beautiful. With his nice voice he read his poems for combatants in different religious sessions. This brave man in battle fields was finally martyred in Shoush Region on March 21st, 1982 when he was 34 years old. His headless body was buried in library of “Almahdi”? Mosque in Shiraz. Two collections of poems have remained from him which are namely “Complete Poetry Book of Truth and Untruth”? and “Martyr, Candle of the History”?. The following is a part of one of his poem under the title of “Who is Truth? Who is Untruth?”?: Who is the light for “Mahdi”? (The 12th Shiite Imam) in gathering of belief? Who is the light for “Mahdi”? in way of belief? Who is the doctor for “Mahdi”? of hearts’ pains? Who is the remedy for “Mahdi”? of pains of souls? Yousof (Joseph) whose face was like the sun The pain of depravity will not be cured till he is appeared There is the sword of bravery in his hand There is the crown of sign on his head when he is on gallows Truth is bright like the sunshine Truth does not need anything
