Diary of Night
18-Nov-2010
دفترچهٔ خاطرات شب را
باد سحری ورق ورق کرد
از شرم حضورعشق در آن
پیشانی ابر هم عرق کرد
شبنم چو که راز فاش دیدش
لغزید به زیر دامن برگ
شب سرخ شد و پرندهٔ صبح
خنده ز کنایه بر شفق کرد
باد سحری ورق ورق کرد
از شرم حضورعشق در آن
پیشانی ابر هم عرق کرد
شبنم چو که راز فاش دیدش
لغزید به زیر دامن برگ
شب سرخ شد و پرندهٔ صبح
خنده ز کنایه بر شفق کرد
Diary of Night,
torn by Dawn’s early wind, sheet after sheet.
Shamed by presence of love in it.
Likewise, cloud’s forehead sweat.
As dew saw Night's secret brought to light,
trembled under leaves’ skirt.
Night turned red, and Dawn's bird,
laughed at twilight, in jest.
Footnote: Thank you Persian Westender for this beautiful poem.

Dear MPD, what a great translation of PW's gorgeous poem
by Anahid Hojjati on Sat Nov 20, 2010 09:46 AM PSTMPD jan, My hat is off to persian westender for writing this poem and to you for doing such a fantastic job translating it from Farsi to English. You guys are two of my favorite writers on IC. I know how difficult it is to translate poetry from Farsi to English and that is why I appreciate you sharing this with us.
Nice translation
by Monda on Sat Nov 20, 2010 08:06 AM PSTI like this as much as PW's original.
(my most favorite Van Gogh up there)
Beautiful Poem, MPD

Thank you yolanda!

Beautifully done!
by persian westender on Thu Nov 18, 2010 11:30 PM PSTMPD, I don't know which one of you did this great job (I have a hunch he is the smiling one on your avatar), but my hat's off to all of you collectively,...again!
Merci!

I really like the personification in the poem......it makes the nature come to life......very vivid and visual! Thank you and the poet, Persian Westender, for the collaboration!
I believe over 95% of the people on IC can read the original Farsi poem, but people like Sargord (LOL) and me do appreciate the English translation very much!
Thank you!
