Why doing this?

As long as you have a need to express something, it means that you still have some issues about that thing.

For about 28 years I'm married, neither myself nor my husband never wore a ring. What for?

The sense of engagement and responsibility is in our head and our heart. No need to express it to the world.

If you feel free in your heart, there's no need to show it to the world, by doing a tatoo ;-)

Wonderful poem, thanks for

Wonderful poem, thanks for posting.

Souri jan, my search also came up with no reference

to the name of the poet. Yes, it looks like the poet does not want to get the credit for the poem.

About the poet

I believe that s/he wanted to stay anonymous. I did a quick search to find the name of the poet on-line, but couldn't find any reference to it. Therefor, I deducted that the author preferred to stay unknown. And I respect her/his willing and don't search further

Thanks Souri jan for your reply.

I was curious about who wrote this poem. Now that I have a question about it, I am even more interested to know who wrote it.

Thanks Maryam and Anahid

For your comments.

Anahid jon: I believe the reference is to us, as a confused Nation who can't read/see without a map (?)

Nice poem Souri jan. What does this line mean, anyone?

 Souri jan, this is a nice poem. These lines are my favorite part:

ما فقط نامت را زمزمه کرده ایم

ما به وسعت یک تاریخ از تو محروم مانده ایم

ای نادیده ترین!

اگر آمدی با نشانی بیا که تو را بشناسیم.

هان، آی آزادی!

اگر به سرزمین ما آمدی

با آگاهی بیا

تا بر دروازه های شهر

تو را با شمشیر گردن نزنیم

تا در حافظه ی کُند تاریخ نگذاریم که تو را از ما بدزدند

 However, I am not sure what the poet means by this line:

اگر آمدی با نشانی بیا که تو را بشناسیم.

I would think that when freedom arrives, we will know it without needing neshani. Does anyone have a good interpretation for this line?

Thanks again for posting.

Beautiful, Souri

I enjoyed it very much. Every verse was so true & meaningful.

Azadi!

Thanks to your wonderful poem I'm more determined to get an AZADI tattoo in the shape of a ring on my wedding finger.

Yes, Madame, I know that when the author is unknown, we must write it at the bottom of the blog! Thanks for reminding it again, but I knew this already. So if I didn't do that............Well, maybe because I didn't feel like doing it, at the time I was posting the blog.

Now again, I wish you would do some homework and find the author, so not only you would give the credit (that I missed to give to the author) but also you would save much time to me and yourself

Thanks.

Souri

I missed your description.... and I did not see any on the actual blog on this page ..

The reason I mentioned it is because usually we do not see much credit being given to the poet.  That is important.  I thought it is your work and still I was looking for some credit that you would give to yourself which was missed. Then I thought may be it is not. 

Once the poet is unknown then it should be  written " By Anonymous " at the end of the poem. That would take away any doubt right away. 

thanks for sharing this nice poem anyway : ) 

I liked the poem very much, too

Dear All-Iranians: Thanks for posting the actual link. I didn't know where to find it, as I'd just received this poem by email.  Glad that it was not already posted at IC ;-)

Redwine jon: Na, man alan sar-e-kaar nistam ;-)

Sar-e-kaari ham nistam......douste aziz, hamoun Souri baraye ma kaafist. Mamnoun.

Shirin jon: Told you that we have a lot in common ;-)  Me too, I liked the poem very much. Thanks.

Dr Saadat Noury aziz: Thank you so much for the great quot from Jefferson. So true!

Soosan Khanoom: When you clicked here, you must have read already that I said: I don't know who wrote the poem. I wish you would dig more to find the name of the poet, so you will be the first person giving him/her the credit which you care about, so much. Thanks.

Azadeh jon: Glad that you liked the poem

Great poem

Thank Souri jan for posting this.

Cheers,

Azadeh

Nice

Souri is this your work?  If not then who has written this piece ?  Could you please give credit to the writer if she or he is not you?  The online sites that have published this before have not given credit to anyone.  

Great post

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants: Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the USA.

Thank you Souri Banoo!

از انسانیت و صلح و شهامت بگو

از تقوا و جنگ و شهادت نگو

It would be nice if you could read it for us, please, cheers
