Life

by Forough

translated by Maryam Dilmaghani

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

• O life,  life!
• O naught, O all, the intoxicating nil
• I am filled with thy thrill still
• I am not able to betray thee
• If thou estrange me, I won’t estrange thee.
• O life,  life!
• I hunted thou in thee, in all, in thee
• Ever looking to capture thee,O life, capture thee in me
• running off my haunted tower of dream
• my shimmery palace of fantasies
• The journey’s harsh
• The quest’s unsure
• Nonetheless I went for thee
• None could defeat me, defeat my will
• O life! in my pursuit of thee, pursuit of beauty.
• And I learned thee, life, I learned love!
• In the nearness of Venus
• I loved the morning star
• In the abode of lights
• I loved the mourning clouds
• And in the land of moon
• I loved the raining noon
• O life, I learned thee
• I learned love
• I learned to love thee
• The mother of beauty!
