My new year shall begin
with everything sweet:
Shekar, symbol of power and wealth,
Sharab, to celebrate this wonderful year,
Sharbat, for our youth and their health,
Sher e Shahname, to keep near
the stories that are our own,
Shir, for abundance of food,
and the everlasting shole ye sham
for guidance towards good.
Some add a shoone
to be clean in their soul,
but I’ll stick to my fine
1389 wine.
