Catechism

Will tomorrow bring sorrow?
Will the sun rise?

Or the past's allure
Do we fantasize?

And whence freedom comes?
At what price?

Life's transience
Nothing justifies!

Bitter is our demise.
Or perhaps sweeter than our lives?

Should you a knave catechize?
Or seek a zealot's advice?

Dear Abbas & Anahid:

Dear Abbas: Thanks for the compliment.

Dear Anahid: I didn't use Google. I've never used google for translation of any type. 

I wanted to keep the rhyme and, fortunately, I was somewhat successful.

Thanks for the interest.

Technically speaking...

This is an adaptation, not a translation.

It is very good, by the way.

The Original Poem: Orang Gholikhani

by G. Rahmanian on Mon Jan 23, 2012 06:19 AM PST

سؤال يا جواب

فردا محزون است

یا آفتابی

گذشته زیباست

یا خیالی

آزادی کجاست

به چه قیمتی

زندگی کوتاه است

برای چه حاصلی

و آیا مرگ تلخ است

یاشیرین تر از زندگی

سوال از رندان میکنی

یاجواب زاهدان میخواهی

اورنگ
