Rain, rain

Here is a stick
Here is a brick
Here is the blood
Here is faryaad
Here is jalaad
Here is the timid
Here is the flame
Here is the claim

Here is a man on the ground
Here is a man in pain
Here is his blood
Where is the winter rain?
Rain, rain

Here is sister Zanab, demanding hijab
Here is a woman, draped in blood
Here is a woman on the ground
Hear the sound of shotgun blast?
Run, run
Run fast

Where is the winter rain?
Rain, rain
Rain on this land
Rain on the desert sand
Rain on the woman's hand
Rain on kooh'e Damavand

Rain on the man
Rain all you can
Rain on us
Rain on the bus
Rain on the land
Rain on the sea
Rain with all your fury
Rain all you can

Wash away this stain 
Wash away this pain
Break loose this chain
End this evil reign
End this endless pain

End this pain

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Ebi aka Haaji


Nazy Kaviani

بزن باران

Nazy Kaviani


بزن باران بهاران فصلِ خون است

خيابان سرخ و صحرا لاله گون است

بزن باران که بي چشمان ِ خورشيد

جهان در تيه ِ ظلمت واژگون است

بزن باران نسيم از رفتن افتاد

بزن باران دل از دل بستن افتاد

بزن باران به رويشخانهء خاک

گـُل از رنگ و گياه از رُستن افتاد

بزن باران که ديوان در کمين اند

پليدان در لباس ِ زُهد و دين اند

به دشتستان ِ خون و رنج ِ خوبان

عَلمداران ِ وحشت خوشه چين اند

بزن باران ستمکاران به کارند

نهان در ظلمت ، اما بي شمارند

بزن باران ، خدارا صبر بشکن

که ديوان حاکم ِ مُلک و ديارند

بزن باران فريب آئينه دار است

زمان يکسر به کام ِ نابکار است

به نام ِ آسمان و خدعهء دين

بر ايرانشهر ، شيطان شهريار است.

سکوت ِ ابر را گاه ِ شکست است

بزن باران که شيخ ِ شهر مست است

ز خون ِ عاشقان پيمانهء سرخ

به دست ِ زاهدان ِ شب پرست است

بزن باران وگريان کن هوا را

سکون بر آسمان بشکن ، خدارا

هزاران نغمه در چنگ ِ زمان ريز

ببار آن نغمه هاي آشنا را

بزن باران جهان را مويه سرکن

به صحرا بار و دريا را خبر کن

بزن باران و گــَرد از باغ برگير

بزن باران و دوران دگر کن

بزن باران به نام ِ هرچه خوبي ست

بيفشان دست ، وقتِ پايکوبي ست

مزارع تشنه ، جوباران پُر از سنگ

بزن باران که گاه ِ لايروبي ست

بزن باران و شادي بخش جان را

بباران شوق و شيرين کن زمان را

به بام ِ غرقه در خون ِ ديارم

بپا کن پرچم ِ رنگين کمان را

بزن باران که بي صبرند ياران

نمان خاموش ، گريان شو ، بباران

بزن باران بشوي آلودگي را

ز دامان ِ بلند ِ روزگاران

از هیاهو

Hi! MPD,

 

Here are my favorite verses:

Wash away this stain 
Wash away this pain
Break loose this chain
End this evil reign
End this endless pain

I was wondering what "rain" means in your poem since you mentioned "rain" 20 times in total, so I take a guess, my interpretation is that "rain" means God or God's power (God's hand)......I feel that the timing of MONTAZERI's passing is kind of divine......so I think God is doing something.......I pray that God will do more and do it quickly..... 

Thank you for your patriotic poem!
