I would not use the background in this case. My proposal is to stick the decoration in the command that prints the page number, and use a tikzpicture with a controlled bounding box.

The following is a start --- I did only the upper part, the bottom one should be easier. I removed the Parsi things (I do not have the fonts).

\documentclass[12pt]{book}

\usepackage[top=25mm,bottom=25mm,left=25mm,right=25mm,
    headheight=40pt]{geometry}

\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc, shapes.geometric} 

\usepackage{changepage}
\strictpagecheck

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LO,RE]{\myfancynum}
\fancyhead[LE]{book title}
\fancyhead[RO]{\leftmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\linespread{1.5}

\newcommand{\myfancynum}{%
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \path (0,0) [use as bounding box]
        node[diamond, draw=cyan, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=32pt] (pageno) {\thepage} ;
    \checkoddpage\ifoddpage
    % 36pt = 32pt + 4pt +4pt; 
    \path (pageno.west) node[fill=cyan, fill opacity=0.4, diamond, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=16pt] {};
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.north) ++(0, +4pt) -- ++(40pt, -40pt) -- ++(\linewidth,0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.east) ++(4pt, 0) -- ++(-40pt, -40pt) -- ++(0, -4cm);
    \else
    \path (pageno.east) node[fill=cyan, fill opacity=0.4, diamond, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=16pt] {};
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.north) ++(0, +4pt) -- ++(-40pt, -40pt) -- ++(-\linewidth,0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.west) ++(-4pt, 0) -- ++(40pt, -40pt) -- ++(0, -4cm);
    \fi
    \end{tikzpicture}%
}

\begin{document}

\chapter{A chapter}

\section{A section}

\lipsum[1-40]

\end{document}

To obtain:

The trick here is the use as bounding box thing (you can use it in a scope if you need more thing) so that fancyhdr is convinced that the size of the picture is just the size of the diamond with the page number.

I had to increase the size of the header, obviously, too. The code should be cleaned upt to not to use all these constants, but hey, that's left as an exercise to the reader...

update with a new shape --- this shows the use of anchors, so it's quite educational, I think... changing:

\newcommand{\myfancynum}{%
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        % this trick is used to have the bounding box centered on the number, but
        % the real drawing (the star) hanging down (thanks to anchor=north).
        % By default, fancyhdr will line the baseline of this graph (that for it is
        % just the pagenumber) to the chapter-section-title whatever info it prints in
        % the header. 
        % To see how fancyhdr lines up things, change this \path to a \draw
        \path [use as bounding box] (-16pt,16pt) rectangle (16pt,-16pt);
            \path node[star, star points=8, star point ratio=1.3, draw=cyan,
                inner sep=0pt, minimum size=32pt, anchor=north] (pageno) {\thepage} ;
    \checkoddpage\ifoddpage
    % line lengths are adjusted by hand. Probably a bit of math could fix this, but well...
    \path (pageno.west) node[fill=cyan, fill opacity=0.4, diamond, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=16pt] {};
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.inner point 7) -- ++(44pt,0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.east) -- ++(+40pt, 0) -- ++(4pt,-4pt) -- ++({\linewidth-48pt},0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.outer point 6) -- ++(\linewidth,0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.west) -- ++(-8pt, -8pt) -- ++(0, -4cm);
    \else
    \path (pageno.east) node[fill=cyan, fill opacity=0.4, diamond, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=16pt] {};
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.inner point 2) -- ++(-44pt,0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.west) -- ++(-40pt, 0) -- ++(-4pt,-4pt) -- ++({-\linewidth+48pt},0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.outer point 4) -- ++(-\linewidth,0);
    \draw[cyan] (pageno.east) -- ++(+8pt, -8pt) -- ++(0, -4cm);
    \fi
    \end{tikzpicture}%
}

[Tex/LaTex] Header problem with book class

The package fancyhdr needs some code after loading it, in order to define precisely what goes in the header.

In oneside format it's not very common to have both the chapter title and the section title, because the header will be too crowded. You probably have somewhere the declaration \pagestyle{fancy}, otherwise the setting would be the standard, that prints on the header only the chapter title and the page number:

2. INTRODUCTION TO SIMULATION 4

If you want the section title and the page number in the header, then

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy} % enable fancy page style
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % comment if you want the rule
\fancyhf{} % clear header and footer
\fancyhead[L]{\rightmark} % section title on the left
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}   % page number on the right

If you want the chapter title, change the fifth line into

\fancyhead[L]{\leftmark} % chapter title on the left

There's no practical way to make chapter and section titles to coexist, except to put them on two lines.

[Tex/LaTex] How to edit header of one page of book class

I'll do with the assumption that you don't want the header in the chapter starting page:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, reqno,oneside]{book}

\usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra,amssymb,latexsym, amscd,amsthm}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just for the example

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[L]{gggggggggggggggggggg}
\fancyhead[R]{\makebox[0.58\linewidth]{\small\leftmark}}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.2pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.2pt}

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
  \fancyhf{}%
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}%
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}%
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.2pt}%
}


\setlength{\headheight}{14.5pt} % as recommended by fancyhdr

\begin{document}

\chapter{Title}
\lipsum[1-20]

\end{document}

There's no need for a \parbox, unless your titles are unusually long. However I'd set them flush right. If you really need a \parbox, don't use \begin{center}...\end{center} in it, but

\parbox{<length>}{\centering <contents>}

and don't forget to look at the warnings by fancyhdr to know the correct value to assign to \headheight.

If you need to change the page style for other pages, define a specific style:

\fancypagestyle{peculiar}{% use whatever name you please
  \fancyhf{}% clear all the headers and footers
  % now define the contents of the various fields
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}%
  %...
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% rule at the top
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.2pt}% rule at the bottom
}

and issue \thispagestyle{peculiar} where you need it. By redefining the plain page style you have a different style on the chapter starting pages.
