       A Poem by Rumi

    Translated by Nader Khalili

you mustn't be afraid of death
you're a deathless soul
you can't be kept in a dark grave
you're filled with God's glow

be happy with your beloved
you can't find any better
the world will shimmer
because of the diamond you hold

when your heart is immersed
in this blissful love
you can easily endure
any bitter face around

in the absence of malice
there is nothing but
happiness and good times
don't dwell in sorrow my friend

***********************

Another Poem by Rumi

look at love
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love

look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life

why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend

why talk about all
the known and the unknown
see how the unknown merges into the known

why think seperately
of this life and the next
when one is born from the last

look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb
the other speaks in words and signs

look at water and fire
earth and wind
enemies and friends all at once

the wolf and the lamb
the lion and the deer
far away yet together

look at the unity of this
spring and winter
manifested in the equinox

you too must mingle my friends
since the earth and the sky
are mingled just for you and me

be like sugarcane
sweet yet silent
don't get mixed up with bitter words

my beloved grows
right out of my own heart
how much more union can there be

...........

Oh Latina ....

that last 2 lines been always on my mind

Of course in a FREE IRAN.     Maziar

Death according to Rumi

 به روز مرگ چو تابوت من روان باشد
گمان مبر که مرا درد این جهان باشد

برای من مگری و مگو دریغ دریغ
به دوغ دیو درافتی دریغ آن باشد

جنازه‌ام چو ببینی مگو فراق فراق
مرا وصال و ملاقات آن زمان باشد

مرا به گور سپاری مگو وداع وداع
که گور پرده جمعیت جنان باشد

فروشدن چو بدیدی برآمدن بنگر
غروب شمس و قمر را چرا زبان باشد

تو را غروب نماید ولی شروق بود
لحد چو حبس نماید خلاص جان باشد

کدام دانه فرورفت در زمین که نرست
چرا به دانه انسانت این گمان باشد

کدام دلو فرورفت و پر برون نامد
ز چاه یوسف جان را چرا فغان باشد

دهان چو بستی از این سوی آن طرف بگشا
که های هوی تو در جو لامکان باشد

Natalia

This is another San Juan de la Cruz sounding poem from you. Is the original in Spanish? Good work!

Ya NUR

dear Latina, here is part of a poem from Shamloo

Dear Latina, earlier today, on my facebook, I posted part of a poem from "Ahmad Shamloo".  Maybe MPD can translate to English. In this poem, Shamloo notes that meaning of every death, is life.

 اگر شعر زنده گی ست

ما در تکِ سیاه ترین آیه های آن

گرمای آفتابی ی عشق و امید را

 احساس می کنیم

کیوان سرود زنده گی اش را  در خون سروده است

وارتان غریوِ زنده گی اش را در قالبِ سکوت

اما, اگر چه قیافه ی زنده گی

در آن چیزی به غیر ضربه ی کشدارِ مرگ نیست

 در هر دو شعر معنی ی هر مرگ زنده گی ست

Dear Latina, you have written a beautiful poem

Dear Latina, your poem is very beautiful and I am with yolanda about liking the most the ending. Please publish your poems,

I would like

I would like to see my poems published in Spanish, English, French and of course Farsi.

It would make me very happy. I can do the Spanish and the English is already done. Only one of my poems is already translated into Farsi رها یی

Okay! Time to post some songs Yolanda. I will begin.

Hi Natalia,

     I checked on LULU.....some of the poetry books have only 6 poems.....if you want, you can publish now.....I am not kidding.....please publish on both Amazon and LULU......you can e-mail PT......I think he will be glad to help 'cause he said in his blog....please start to think about your poetry book cover....

Good luck!

P.S. Your book will be great presents and souvenirs for your friends and relatives.....of course, you can also sell them online to the whole world!

Perhaps...........

 Yolanda,

Thank you! You have always been so kind and supportive in all my forms of writing.

I checked and I have about 16 poems already. How many should one have before one publishes? I want to publish my poems so that I can give copies to family and friends.

Perhaps......When I pass away JJ will make me one for one day. :o)

Hi Natalia,

    A very touching poem! I really like the last 2 stanzas........

****************************

I will live on through my sons

They will carry on the torch for me

I have loved none more than my sons

They are everything to me

So don’t weep for me

I am finally set free

My ashes will be spread upon

The Caspian Sea

**************************

You should be an honorable Iranian citizen 'cause you have so much love for the Iranian people and the Iranian land & sea!

******************

The song is from my favorite movie of all time "A Walk to Remember". The couple loved each other very much, but the girl died of leukemia.
